Secondary aged pupils are generally grouped by their curriculum requirements with timetable opportunities for mixed lessons across classes.
Secondary topics build upon learning from the primary age-phase by extending pupils’ engagement with the wider world to provide new experiences and opportunities as a foundation for further education and preparation for life beyond school.
