The Curriculum

Lawnswood School_20 (27)The delivery of our curriculum, is underpinned by our intention to develop the confidence, ambition and communication skills of our young people. Our approach to doing this is summarised under each of the Lawnswood Link headings, and can be seen threaded through each of the subject pages.

Effective assessment and high-quality teaching & learning are essential to ensuring that all students can access the curriculum.  Please click on this link to our Assessment Handbook to read more about our approach to assessment.

At Key Stage 3 students study a wide range of subjects for three years, in order to allow them to then make informed choices about which subjects they wish to learn at a greater depth during Key Stage 4. The Year 9 Options book, summarises the range of course on offer at Key Stage 4 >>

At Key Stage 5, we work in partnership with Ralph Thoresby School to ensure that students then have a further range of course to choose from, which are listed in the Key Stage 5 prospectus >>


Remote learning: In the unlikely event of a short term school closure, we will share school work with students via Microsoft Teams and Class Charts. Students who do not have a laptop or internet enabled device at home should contact their year team as we provide these as part of our Pupil Premium Strategy.
Online platforms such as Seneca and Sparx, allow teachers to quickly set online work that is aligned with the school curriculum offer and will reduce the amount of missed learning.

Contact: Subject leaders directly or katie.nicholson@elawnswood.co.uk if you have any specific questions regarding our curriculum offer.
