Walthamstow School for Girls

Key Stage 3

We pride ourselves on delivering a curriculum across all key stages that provides for all abilities,
challenging and developing skills and talents for all groups of students.

Through creative, inspirational teaching our students are able to home in on their strengths and develop skills in areas where they may be less confident.  This enables all students to achieve their very best.

Students entering Year 7 follow a common curriculum in all ability groups for the majority of subjects.  As well as Physical Education (PE) and Personal, Social & Health Education (PSHE), they study the following subjects over the course of two weeks (50 periods):
