2024 Curriculum Statement
Our curriculum is underpinned by our core values of: Respect, Integrity, Teamwork, Aspiration (RITA).
Colne Valley High School is the first purpose built comprehensive school in the North of England, and our mission now is the same as it was when it opened in 1956: to ensure all students leave us with the opportunity to lead happy, fulfilling and successful lives.
We know that central to this mission is our curriculum.
Our knowledge rich curriculum is coherently sequenced to provide all pupils with the core knowledge, skills and cultural capital needed for future learning and employment. It is informed by evidence to help students know more, and remember more over time.
The curriculum is challenging and inclusive to meet the personal development needs of all students.
Subjects we offer
We are proud of our broad and balanced curriculum offer. We offer a wide range of subjects at both Key Stages, enabling our students to access powerful knowledge across many subject disciplines. This approach aims to keep doors open for them in the future.
