Curriculum

'A Curriculum for All'

At St Dunstan's Community School every child matters and our curriculum is designed so that the learning pathway all students undertake is broad, balanced, and appropriate.

On joining our school in Year 7 every student experiences a variety of learning styles, techniques and curriculum areas. For subjects such as Mathematics and Science, students are placed into ability groupings after the first half term. For other subjects such as the Arts and Humanities or our new Philosophy based course, the classes are more mixed. Our fervent belief is that all students can make excellent progress regardless of their prior attainment or any additional learning needs. We carefully monitor the composition of our teaching groups and make adjustments when appropriate.

As students move into Key Stage Four they are given ample opportunity to choose a personalised learning pathway that suits them. Alongside the core subjects students can choose a wide range of options which include GCSEs, BTECs and courses run as part of the East Somerset Learning Partnership or in conjunction with Bridgwater College. In some cases students may have the opportunity to undertake an extended work experience placement.
