Aspects of each area within the syllabus are taught to each of the year groups so that as skills and understanding improve, more advanced aspects of each element are introduced. We adopt a flexible approach to teaching within the syllabus. This allows us to link with outside influences, events and trends and to take advantage of educational opportunities as they arise. This flexible approach ensures that lessons are contemporary and topical.
