## Our Curriculum

**At USH, our curriculum embodies our motto**![](https://uppershirleyhigh.org/images/learning_without_lmits.png)

We want our curriculum to spark students' curiosity and foster a love of learning. Our diverse curriculum is created to meet the needs of all learners to ensure they all succeed. The curriculum at USH introduces students to a wide range of experiences, knowledge and skills to ensure students are able to shape their futures and discover their talents and passions.

Our spiral curriculum is designed and adapted to be ambitious for all; it is carefully sequenced to ensure students learn and remember what they are taught. At Key Stage 3, our curriculum is designed to allow students to explore a wide range of subjects, creating a solid foundation of knowledge and skills ready for Key Stage Four.
