Secondary education is a major step in a young person’s life towards further education or the world of work.
It is a time when key skills are developed and honed, when pupils learn to interact and integrate with their peers, and when they discover where their true skills and interests lie. We are fully committed to providing the very best secondary education, and as such our curriculum offers academic and vocational depth and breadth.
The heart of what we do at Bethany is to stretch our pupils’ ability by allowing them the opportunity to take on challenges. We encourage pupils to take risks, be persistent and learn from their mistakes and much of this is incorporated in our virtue of learning model. Staff develop a curriculum that embeds strategies that will develop potential, allow for development of talent and nurture creative and cognitive abilities in all our pupils.
We teach a variety of subjects throughout the first three years at Bethany, to allow pupils to recognise which areas are most suited to their interests, skills and abilities. Our broad range of GCSE and A level options, including vocational qualifications, provide the perfect continuation for them to fully explore and stretch the limits of their capabilities.
Academic
Small class sizes, tailored teaching, passionate staff, flexible choices – this is Bethany’s winning combination to help our Sixth Formers achieve the best grades they can.
We want pupils to be the best they can be, and we encourage both academic excellence and personal improvement and progress. The first thing we do when pupils join our Sixth Form is get an understanding of their passions and how they learn. Then we adapt our teaching approach to suit and guide, support and challenge pupils to make sure they reach their full potential. More than anything, whatever the predicted grades are when pupils arrive, our aim is to help surpass them.
We take time to get to know each pupil, their passions and how they learn best, so we can guide and challenge them to achieve their full potential. Our pupils make exceptional progress at A Level thanks to our child-centred philosophy that continues into the Sixth Form. 96% of our leavers will go on to university with the vast majority enrolling in their first choice. We are also ranked in the top 0.5% for A level progression nationally.
When you have discovered your passion, don’t hold back. At Bethany, we offer the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) as an optional extra, giving you the opportunity to seek guidance on and explore your interests to new depths, getting UCAS points in the process.
At Bethany we want to open doors, not close them. With 26 subjects across a range of disciplines, at Bethany you can choose the subjects you enjoy.
