"We were impressed with the rigorous attention
to the quality of teaching."
The Good Schools Guide 20th Edition
At Invicta Grammar School we recognise the importance of excellent academic results. However, we believe that for your daughter to be successful and happy in this challenging and competitive world it is also necessary for her to be equipped with more than good results. She needs to be creative, to work cooperatively, and to have highly developed personal and social skills.
It is our aim that during her time at Invicta, your daughter will develop certain qualities. She will become knowledgeable, independent, innovative, ambitious, articulate and considerate. She will develop skills and character traits such as leadership, organisation, resilience, initiative and communication. She will also aspire to aim high to achieve her full potential and be nurtured to become a life-long learner who is prepared for the modern world.
We seek to challenge and stimulate the minds of our students through outstanding teaching, excellent opportunities to learn beyond the classrooms and a rich and balanced curriculum. We are proud of our curriculum as it provides challenge, pace, and variety at all levels to suit individual students.
Our curriculum demonstrates our firm belief in social justice, ensuring that all students have access to the best learning opportunities in and outside the classroom.
We design our curriculum to provide your daughter with an exciting, stimulating and challenging learning journey throughout her school career at Invicta. The foundation years covers beyond the national curriculum and aims to equip your daughter with a broad range of knowledge, skills and the academic discipline together with the keenness to learn new things. During the middle years, your daughter will work towards at least 10 GCSEs to include Triple Science, a Humanities subject and a language. All Invicta students take the English Baccalaureate and follow a comprehensive personal development programme. Our middle year curriculum goes beyond the requirement of GCSEs, equipping students with oracy, thinking, research and leadership skills. It encourages students to draw links within and across subjects and relate learning with real life, making the learning journey very stimulating. Our students study a wide range of subjects for GCSE, from Art Textiles to Music, Classical Civilisation to Food and Nutrition, Photography to Dance. All students are encouraged to opt for a creative subject and make the most of the plethora of opportunities to learn beyond the classroom.
The A level curriculum offers a broad choice of almost 30 subjects for students to choose from, to include the Extended Project Qualification and our bespoke Advanced Skills programme which, along with our enriching Personal Development programme, prepares students with work related skills for life in modern Britain.
We believe our academic curriculum is challenging, exciting and designed specifically for our highly motivated and able students, whilst catering for the variety of needs from our individual students.
