Years 7 & 8

A student in the first two years at Whitmore will follow an enhanced curriculum which develops knowledge, skills and understanding across a wide range of vital areas. English, Maths and Science form the core of the curriculum, and this is complemented by a wide range of creative, practical and artistic subjects. Every student participates in two lessons of PE per week.

Each week, all students also have an assembly and a PSHE lesson, which takes place in their tutor groups.

We are committed to providing a broad and balanced curriculum which supports the development of the whole child. Lessons are allocated as follows:
