Welcome to Key Stage 3

Key Stage 3 is carefully designed to both support your child’s transition from primary school and prepare them for the demands of our IGCSE programme in KS4 (Years 10 and 11).

During Key Stage 3 (KS3) students follow a broad and balanced international curriculum, which encourages them to explore and develop their unique talents. They also enjoy a wide range of activities, trips and opportunities for self-discovery beyond the classroom – in sports, the Arts, debating, community service and more, and they are encouraged to immerse themselves in school life, taking part in as many activities as possible.  This breadth of experiences enables them to make good choices as they move through the IGCSEs, A Levels and beyond.

KS3 students are supported by their dedicated tutor, who is always the first port of call for parents. Their wider support network includes their Head of Key Stage, and Deputy, as well as our dedicated careers counsellor and our school counselling team.

Students with limited English are provided with dedicated support to ensure they are able to fully access all that POWIIS can offer as quickly as possible.
