Curriculum Flexibility
At Rossington All Saints Academy, we operate a three‑year Key Stage 3 (Years 7, 8 and 9), followed by a two‑year Key Stage 4 (Years 10 and 11). At the end of Year 9, students choose the subjects they will study throughout Key Stage 4, completing these courses by the end of Year 11.
We provide a broad and diverse range of subjects and qualifications to meet the needs of all learners — from creative and technical pathways to more academic or health‑related courses. Students follow the route that best matches their abilities, which may include GCSEs, BTECs, and Cambridge National or Technical Certificates. Our curriculum is personalised to each individual, ensuring every student accesses a programme that supports their strengths and ambitions.
Additional support is available in school for those who need it, offering opportunities and resources that may not be accessible at home. Over their five years with us, pupils are able to study a wide variety of subjects, helping them keep future career pathways open and preparing them for further education, training, or employment.
