Every student is expected to give their undivided attention and maximum effort to every lesson they attend. They should listen attentively to all instructions, respond immediately to all requests and work to the best of their ability. Politeness and civility is expected at all times from everyone.

Students are taught in setted groups according to their abilities, with regular reviews taking place, in order to monitor progress and to identify appropriate student movement between sets.

The curriculum at Uxbridge High School follows statutory National Curriculum requirements and is enriched by a broad and balanced range of subjects. All students entering the school have equal access to all aspects of the curriculum. Those with special needs, either high or low ability, are mainly taught in mainstream classes with additional support being offered through differentiated material and classroom support.

The Curriculum at Key Stage 3

In Years 7, 8 and 9 (Key Stage 3) all students follow the same curriculum: English, Science, Mathematics, French, German, Spanish, Technology, History, Geography, Music, Drama, Art, Religious Education, Physical Education, Information Communication Technology, Personal, Social, & Health Education.

Students showing a flair for languages will be invited to study a second language in the following two years.

It is a joint responsibility between each student, their parents and the school.

Sixth Form Curriculum

With increasingly successful GCSE results it is expected that the majority of students at Uxbridge High School will wish to continue to stay on into the Sixth Form.

As in the selection of GCSE courses full support and guidance is offered to students during Year 11 in the selection of Sixth Form courses that best match the needs and abilities of each individual student. A wide range of Intermediate and Advanced Level courses are also offered.
