At Mayflower High School all students are provided with a rich diet of knowledge, skills and experiences to achieve Success, Happiness and Opportunity, whatever their background or starting point. This lies at the heart of our curriculum, our pastoral programme and every aspect of day to day life.  

 

We provide a curriculum that is ambitious and inclusive.  It is demanding and coherent, where subject leads reflect on what is being taught, to ensure that students develop a mastery of the key concepts of each subject so they can make connections in their learning. We aim for all our students to be challenged, because we know that a happy student is one who enjoys difficult, demanding work with the right scaffolding to support them so that they are successful.

 

We want to empower our students to effectively contribute to society while they are a student and when they leave Mayflower High School. We achieve this aim through a range of strategies, embedded across all subject areas, with the aim of inspiring our students to be life-long learners. Our curriculum from KS3-5 is modelled with the aim of maximising individual academic and social growth, and allowing our students to contribute to the local, national and global community.

 

Our taught curriculum is broad and balanced.  Throughout Years 7 - 9 they study the full range of National Curriculum subjects to ensure that they  have developed the foundations to be successful  at key stage 4 and 5 as well as in their subsequent careers. The curriculum is designed to be a journey building on existing knowledge and skills to become successful in their chosen fields of study.

 

We also provide opportunities beyond the taught curriculum so that our young people develop in all aspects, academically, socially and personally. A wide range of curricular activities is provided before and after school as well as at lunchtime. There are also opportunities to participate in a variety of trips and visits.
