KS3
During the Key Stage 3 learning journey, we want our students to explore a variety of voices across different historical, social and literary contexts.
We want our students to learn rich knowledge, through exposure to various forms of language and literature, that enables them to become critical, exploratory thinkers.
We want our students to continue to build on skills from KS1 & 2 around reading, writing, grammar and oracy.
We want our students to develop a confident and strong personal voice.
Their key stage 3 experience at Meden will set them up for continuing their learning journey at GCSE.
