Curriculum Intent
The curriculum at Colchester County High School for Girls (CCHSG) is designed to enable students to:
- develop depth of knowledge
- have richness of experience
- develop their strength of character
At CCHSG students will develop the knowledge and skills to become life-long learners, to be independent, resilient, successful future leaders and enjoy life. This will enable our students to be prepared for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adult life, and be able to compete in a sustainable global economy whilst making a positive contribution to society. The CCHSG curriculum also aims to promote a love of learning through subject mastery, social, spiritual, moral, and cultural opportunities alongside the mental and physical development of each student.
Curriculum Implementation
CCHSG offers a broad and balanced curriculum which incorporates a curriculum matrix with a wide range of choice. Our personalised curriculum is based on the National Curriculum and is enhanced by an expansive co-curricular programme which includes diverse cultural experiences, competitive team sports, debating competitions, outdoor learning opportunities including, the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and a variety of trips. Leadership roles at different levels provide students with opportunities to work collaboratively, together with a sense community and responsibility.
Timely information, advice and guidance is central to supporting students through the next stages of their education and career.
The school is committed to the principles and practice of equal opportunities across the curriculum, and will endeavour to ensure that every activity offered in the school is available to every student irrespective of ethnic origin, race, nationality, religion, disability or economic background.
