The Primary department consists of three classes catering
for children within the Early Years, Key Stage 1 and
Key Stage 2.
 
The curriculum is partly topic based and includes the
daily numeracy and literacy lessons.
Schemes of work
are taken from the ‘Foundation
Stage’ document and the National Curriculum but
are adapted to meet individual needs. Children are encouraged
to learn through practical activities and experiences
with an emphasis on the development of personal and social
skills.
 
There are opportunities for integration with St Peter’s
Junior and Infant School and we welcome visits from parents
and friends.
In the Secondary department the pupils continue to develop
skills and knowledge acquired in the Primary department.
 
The curriculum is subject based and taught in the main
by subject specialists.
The social, academic and emotional
development of the pupils is nurtured by a varied and
challenging curriculum,
which includes residential visits and strong links with
the community.
 
This allows participation in events and festivals for
sport, the arts and environmental issues.
The Sixth Form
is distinct from the rest of Kilton Thorpe School. It is on the same site as
the school but is in a separate building and operates a separate curriculum
and timetable to the main school.
 
The Sixth Form aims at preparing the students for their
adult life – it promotes independence, offers
choice and encourages the students to make their own
informed decisions and accept responsibility for their
actions. The curriculum provides the students with
the skills and basic qualifications needed for post-school
life.
 
Literacy and numeracy skills are taught along with practical home
management, practical technology, careers, media studies, independent travel, life skills, local studies, PSHE, Asdan and AQA awards with Redcar & Cleveland
College and other colleges in the area. The Sixth Form aims to develop mature and positive
attitudes that will enable the students to have the best
possible start to their adult lives.
