Starting in September 2023, pupils in Years 7-9 undertake an innovative, interdisciplinary mini-curriculum called Konnections, focused on creativity, accountability and collaboration.

The Konnections programme will help the children to develop an appreciation of skills that are transferable across the curriculum, encourage them to see through the confines of classroom walls, and result in the production and curation of ‘beautiful work’ through a contextual, thematic approach rooted in the local community.

The first three Konnections have been designed by a team of teaching staff and are entitled ‘Liquid History’, ‘Rolling Down the River’ and ‘Our People, Our Past’. These are currently being delivered to pupils in Year 7, with a view to extending the programme to Year 8 in 2024 and Year 9 in 2025 to ensure that everyone in Key Stage Three has access to the opportunities that this cross-curricular work will offer to our pupils.
