Thhee CCuurrrriiccuulluummAt Brookhouse we follow an adapted form of the BritishNational Curriculum, which enjoys an excellentreputation throughout the world. The emphasis is on howto learn, how to develop creative thinking and the abilityto work independently.
At Brookhouse we believe that all children bring a rangeof different interests and skills. They are constantlyencountering new experiences and developingconfidence. We support each child's growth anddevelopment by building on what they already know,using a variety of teaching strategies.
In pre-IGCSE Year 9 pupils study a wide range ofsubjects, allowing each individual to determine areas ofparticular interest and strength. The two year IGCSEprogramme follows, in which core subject areas, such asEnglish and Mathematics, are complimented by a rangeof elective choices. The final two years of A-level studycomplete the secondary education process, whenstudents specialise in three main subjects of their choice.
