Curriculum
Virtually all maintained schools and academies follow the National Curriculum, and are inspected by Ofsted on how well they succeed in delivering a 'broad and balanced curriculum'. The school has to decide whether Key Stage 3 contains years 7, 8 and 9, or whether year 9 should be in Key Stage 4 and the students in that year just study subjects that will be examined by the GCSE exams at 16. Sheringham had decided to take the latter approach. The timetable is planned a 50 period fortnight. In 2019, Key Stage 3 students studied: Students study a core curriculum with German or French, History or Geography and two optional subjects selected from a short list.
