Curriculum
In the secondary school, we offer a broad and balanced curriculum, aimed at stretching and supporting students to meet their potential. At key stage 3, the National Curriculum for England and Wales, modified for our context, forms the basis for learning and it is excellent preparation for both the Cambridge IGCSE programme at key stage 4 and the IB Diploma programme at key stage 5. These externally examined qualifications are internationally recognised and are considered to be the gold standard for university preparation. The Czech programme at key stages 3, 4 and 5 forms an integral part of Park Lane curriculum. It has been designed for both Czech and non-Czech students to help them broaden their knowledge and understanding of the Czech language but also the culture of the country in which they study.
Please fill out this form to give the school all the consents needed for your child/ to be able to leave school on various occasions.
Each form group has a team of 2 co-tutors who work closely getting to know every pupil under their care through the daily registration slot each morning and a tutor session each week. Pastoral coordinators work closely with tutors to help deliver the pastoral curriculum through Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHEE) and class assemblies, based around the core topics of health and wellbeing, society and the wider world, and planning for the future.
You can find out more about our secondary curriculum on our subject pages below. For further information, please contact the relevant subject leader whose contact details can be found on the relevant subject page.
Our students are encouraged to be well-rounded individuals who contribute to the community in a positive way. The Park Lane 5 Rs - Respectful, Responsible, Resilient, Risk-takers, Resourceful - not only help to prepare our students for the world beyond school but also serve as a precursor to the IB Learner Profile. The 5 Rs are the central values embedded into our everyday lives at Park Lane.

It is the school community’s collective mission to prepare the young people of today for the unknown occupations of tomorrow. In line with this, the vision for Challenge and Potential is to ensure excellent provision in the classroom and beyond so that students are excited and engaged in their learning; they are resilient to challenges due to the support of their teachers and they actively seek the next steps in their own learning.
