Curriculum

The curriculum taught at Wetherby is broad and balanced so that boys are engaged and work hard yet have fun. We regard the acquisition of traditional skills of reading, writing and numeracy as vital to their future learning and plan the teaching programme carefully for continuity and progression.

The boys follow the National Curriculum for Mathematics, Literacy, Science, Geography, History and Religious Education. They are also taught Reasoning, PSHE (Personal, Social, and Health education), French, Music, Drama, Art, Design and Technology, ICT, and Physical Education (gym, swimming, football, rugby, cricket, hockey, and swimming) as part of the very broad curriculum.

The academic subjects are taught by form teachers with specialist teachers in French, Music, Drama, Art, Design and Technology, ICT and Physical Education.

Opportunities are given for the boys to learn cooperatively, to develop respect for others and to become independent learners. 

School trips, visiting speakers, art and poetry days are scheduled throughout the year and are valuable extensions to the curriculum.
