KS3 AAG

AAG Scheme of Learning 2019/2020

Aspire, attain, Grow (AAG) is taught at Key Stage 3 (Years 8 and 9) for those pupils who have been disapplied from languages because of their special educational needs or their need to study a more personalised curriculum.

At Key Stage 4 pupils follow an AAG programme in place of studying a language at GCSE. This is a non-exam subject.

AAG aims to develop pupils’ skills in:

Literacy
Numeracy
ICT
Personal development

Key Stage 3 curriculum

Pupils study a literacy based curriculum which mirrors the English curriculum map and allows pupils to study topics in a greater depth to check for understanding and practise core skills of reading, writing and speaking and listening.
Pupils are also given the opportunity to practise their numeracy skills by completing online activities that carefully match the maths curriculum
