Middle School

Head of Middle School Mr. J. Burnage

The Middle School at Kent College is the two year period of study that leads to G.C.S.E. examinations. For the vast majority of students the curriculum pattern will be to study English Language, English Literature, Mathematics, Science, ICT and Religious Studies as compulsory subjects, and to choose their additional examination subjects from the following options: French, German, Spanish, Additional Science, Geography, History, Design and Technology, Art and Design, Dance, PE and Drama.

Kent College, in Years 10 and 11, offers far more than examination study.

The opportunity to demonstrate leadership is available in all activities, but none more so than by participating in the Duke of Edinburgh award. Many move from the Bronze Award at this stage to the Gold Award in the Sixth Form.

Music, sport and drama are an integral part of school life, and recent school productions have centred around the skills of students in this age group.

Outside the examination classes there is a programme of PSE lessons which include careers education, work experience and discussion-based activities relating to a number of moral and ethical issues.
