Our Opening Minds curriculum enables a number of subjects to be taught together through project based work. This allows students to establish clear links between their subjects and to acquire a set of transferable skills that they can use from one subject to the next. Following a competency based curriculum means that students will be taught by fewer teachers, will have less equipment to carry around to fewer classrooms and they will experience a logical, relevant curriculum that helps ease them into the secondary school experience.
