Curriculum & Qualifications
The curriculum at Ellis Guilford School is broad, powerful and engaging. With a firm basis in the mastery of knowledge we aim to develop ambitious learners who strive for excellence across Key Stage 3 and 4.
Pupils make their curriculum choices in Year 9 and then go on to specialise in the subjects that they are passionate about, complimented by a strong basis in the Core subjects of English, Maths and Science.
