Curriculum Overview

At Bramhall High School, we continually strive to improve our curriculum diet for all students. Our focus is to foster the love of learning, ensuring each student is equipped with the knowledge and skills to be successful in future life. Each student embarks on a learning journey, which helps to prepare him or her for the future. This starts with a Year 7 curriculum designed to build upon the experiences in Key Stage 2 through to Year 11 and beyond. We want our students to leave with knowledge and skills which will not only create excellent life opportunities but will also prepare them exceptionally for life beyond school embracing the school’s vision of Every Student, Every subject, Every Grade.’

At Bramhall High School, students will:

  • Experience a broad, deep and knowledge rich curriculum

  • Have high expectations for behaviour and achievement

  • Build their character

  • Develop their cultural, social, moral, mental and physical development.

More information about our curriculum can be found in our Curriculum Policy.
