At Burlington House School, Tooting our curriculum is unique in its offering, being mainstream in structure yet specialist in nature. It provides pupils with unique learning profiles and personalised support tailored to their learning needs, alongside opportunities to unlock their strengths and thrive. Our all-through curriculum delivers a pathway to success for pupils from ages 11 to 16.
Our school community is built on a deep knowledge of our pupils as individuals. Exploring the passions and interests of the young people we work with each day is at the core of our curriculum. Specialist teaching is supported by assistive technology in the classroom, the targeted use of intelligent assessment, as well as therapeutic and academic intervention. This allows us to identify gaps in pupils’ understanding or knowledge and accelerate progress. Our strong extra-curricular offering helps build self-belief and broaden horizons.
Burlington House School’s ambition is that whenever our pupils choose to leave us they do so as confident individuals who are prepared to become engaged and active members of their communities. We want our young people to be empowered through their time with us and encourage them to build habits to become life-long learners through the valuable experiences offered at Burlington House School, Tooting.
Our School curriculum is designed to equip pupils with the skills and confidence needed to succeed in public examinations including GCSEs. Our pupils are guided to pathways which suit their strengths and enable them to leave with qualifications that are meaningful to them and which enable them to progress confidently onto the next stage of their education. In the academic year 2024-5 our cohort of students are following a KS3 curriculum. In 2025-6 it will be the first academic year of KS4.
Tooting also offers film & media in the KS3 curriculum which faciltates many transferable skills with other subjects in the curriculum and is also a specialist focus which we are keen to foster as the school develops. Option subject choices for KS4 will be decided in accordance with the pupil interest and demand, with an options event taking place in the early part of 2025.
