Our Curriculum

English
Students study English Language at IGCSE level, developing strong communication skills in reading, writing, and speaking. Some also take English Literature, while others follow the Functional Skills curriculum. This allows every student to progress at a level suited to them.

Maths
We focus on both subject knowledge and real-life application. Students work towards GCSE or Entry Level qualifications, building confidence in numbers, problem-solving, and analytical thinking.

Science
Our science lessons encourage curiosity about the world around us. Students study biology, chemistry, and physics through the AQA Trilogy Combined Science pathway, with GCSEs or Entry Level qualifications available.

Statistics

Statistics appeals to students' sense of curiosity about the world around them and how we might both explain and predict things that happen. It gives Year 10/11 students the opportunity to study an additional GCSE.

Art & Design
Students explore Art, Craft and Design in Year 9, with weekly sessions building  foundational art skills.There is an option to continue towards a GCSE in Year 10&11. Time to Create sessions  also offers Year 11 students space to explore personal creative projects.  

Music
Students explore a wide range of genres and styles while learning to perform, compose, and listen critically. Music in Year 9 encourages enjoyment and builds skills for further study.

Innovation
Through project-based learning, students tackle real-world challenges by combining Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths, Media, and the Arts. They gain hands-on experience in design, content creation, and digital technologies such as AI, film, and online branding.

Futures
This programme prepares students for life after The Green Room. Year 10s explore career options and develop their personal portfolios, while Year 11s attend college events, taster days, and receive tailored support with applications and interviews.

Culinary Skills
Students develop practical skills in meal preparation and nutrition. Students produce a portfolio to record their culinary skills and progress.
 

Media

Media encourages students to think critically about the world and information around them. Students explore key concepts such as perspective, bias, and representation to understand how media messages are shaped. Through practical projects—including creating their own podcasts and newsletter —students gain hands-on production skills while developing a clear voice to express their own ideas.

4D (Fourth Dimension)
This unique subject broadens students’ horizons through cross-curricular projects. Sessions connect cultural, historical, and social topics, helping students build curiosity and cultural capital.

Men/Women of the World & PSHE
Personal, Social, Health and Economic education equips students with skills for independent and fulfilling lives, from healthy relationships to managing real-life challenges. Men of the World is a practical life-skills session that sits between PSHE and Careers. Alongside its equivalent session, Women of the World, it supports students to develop the everyday confidence, independence and responsibility they need as they grow up. Sessions focus on real-world tasks and social expectations, such as managing appointments, looking after a home, shopping, travel, communication, personal organisation and being considerate, capable members of their families and communities.

Afternoon Activities

Our Afternoon Activities programme has been designed to provide purposeful physical activity in a way that better meets the needs of our students. Rather than a traditional sports model, sessions are split into three strands: Precision Games, Gym, and Walk-n-Talk. Precision Games support skills such as hand-eye coordination, core strength, dexterity, accuracy and turn-taking through structured games such as Flungle, Kan Jam and Spikeball. Gym sessions give students access to fitness equipment in a calm, supported way, with opportunities for positive conversation alongside staff. Walk-n-Talk offers a quieter alternative for students who may find the sports hall or gym overwhelming, allowing them to get fresh air, be active and connect with staff. The programme has been shaped around students’ EHCP needs, with a focus on wellbeing, confidence, regulation and success.

ROCCIT Competencies
Resilience, Organisation, Communication, Community, Initiative and Teamwork are embedded across lessons, preparing students with the life skills needed for the future.

Reading Plus
A personalised programme that supports every student in improving vocabulary, speed, and comprehension, ensuring reading confidence for academic success.

Pathways
Weekly sessions help students reflect on progress, set goals, and connect with the school’s core values: Kindness, Curiosity and Change.

Geography

An introduction to geography including both physical and human geography. Students develop an understanding of the world around us, including countries and cultures.

Therapy
Our in-house therapist offers one-to-one support, helping students explore emotions, family dynamics, and challenges in a safe and creative environment.
