Curriculum Statement

Curriculum Aim

At Jubilee High School, we aim to offer a broad, balanced and bespoke curriculum. Students will experience a range of subjects and opportunities, where emphasis is placed on the development of knowledge, balanced with skills. Our curriculum ensures students will have a bespoke personalised pathway which allows ALL to flourish. There is a real breadth of courses across the curriculum, addressing the needs of all groups of students - a very strong traditional academic offer, balanced with specific vocational and alternative courses.

Our curriculum aims to create lifelong learners who will be resilient, open-minded, aspirational and reflective and who will, not only be prepared for their final examinations, but also be ready to take on any challenges in life beyond Jubilee High School. The curriculum is constantly reviewed and developed to not only meet the needs and strengths of our students, but to also provide rich opportunities for them to develop a range of skills and enjoy memorable school experiences.
