We work hard to ensure the subjects we teach match the interests of our students. The broad, balanced curriculum is delivered by specialist teachers who are passionate about their areas of expertise.
The curriculum from Year 7 to Year 11 provides students with the breadth and depth needed for them to make strong progress. We are committed to a personalised approach to learning that builds relationships and character giving students the best opportunities in future learning and employment.
The Learning Line
At Wetherby High School, we have developed an approach to learning that enables us to ‘teach to the top’ and therefore stretch and challenge all students to reach their own best standard. The learning line, running through all lessons, means students understand how best to learn and develop good learning habits.
Assessments
Progress Reports
Teaching staff undertake continual assessment of students’ progress in lessons to ensure the learning is pitched to present consistently high challenge. This continual assessment of progress is then captured through Progress Reports each half term. As part of our commitment to being partners in learning, this report is discussed by each child and their coach to set targets together for the following half term. The content of the report also forms the basis for conversations between the coach and parents/carers. Progress is also rewarded at the end of each term, with assemblies celebrating success. Certificates are presented to students demonstrating outstanding Character for Achievement attributes such resilience, independence, motivation and empathy.

Examinations
Twice each year, students in years 7, 8 and 9 will receive an assessment report, following midterm and final examinations. These detailed reports highlight strengths and areas for improvement in each subject.
