KS3
Traditionally, KS3 comprises of Year 7, Year 8, and 9. At UK Virtual School, we only offer Year 7 at KS3 level. Our Year 7 curriculum provides an opportunity for students to have a structure to their home educating journey and embrace the leap to secondary. Families can pick and choose subjects they wish their child to pursue at UK Virtual School.
Students who would traditionally be working at Year 8 or Year 9 level are combined into one class, which we call “Year 9.” The students begin a 3-year GCSE course covering foundational work and skills in the first year. Please visit the GCSE page for more information on our Year 9 classes.
See below for the full range of Year 7 subjects offered.
