One of the real strengths of Bushey Meads School is the diverse and varied curriculum that the school offers; there is a subject at the school that caters for all interests and for all different types of learners. Not many schools are able to offer such a rich and broad curriculum and that is testimony to the dedication and creative aspiration of our wonderful staff here at the school. Along with all the typical mainstream lessons, we also offer a diverse Alternative Curriculum offer that includes, amongst many other activities, Horticulture, Outdoor Education, Bike Repair and Maintenance, bespoke maths and English lessons, Hair and Beauty and The King’s Trust Course.

On Friday morning in our Staff Briefing meeting, Assistant Headteacher Mrs Greenwood and Alternative Curriculum Coordinator Mrs Isles provided an update about the exciting and ever expanding curriculum provision and outlined how many students in the school were accessing and benefitting from some of the courses on offer; over 10% of students on roll at the school are enjoying the alternative courses on offer and finding they are complimenting their studies in lessons across the curriculum.

We are extremely proud as a school to be able to offer such a broad and enriching curriculum – something that most schools are not able to do.
