Harris Girls' Academy East Dulwich The Harris Girls' Academy East Dulwich (formerly Waverley School) is a secondary school and sixth form with academy status in the East Dulwich area of the London Borough of Southwark, England. Virtually all maintained schools and academies follow the National Curriculum for England, National Curriculum, and are inspected by Ofsted on how well they succeed in delivering a 'broad and balanced curriculum'. Schools endeavour to get all students to achieve the English Baccalaureate (EBACC) qualification- this must include core subjects a modern or ancient foreign language, and either History or Geography. The academy operates a three-year, Key Stage 3 where all the core National Curriculum subjects are taught. The aim is "to give the students a chance to take examinations best suited for them to achieve tangible outcomes through summative grades. These grades are what gives a student life chances. In key Stage 3 the subject reach is broad and in Key Stage 4 the options are balanced so there is on offer appropriate to everyone." Ofsted, in the last inspection in 2011, said "There is a clear rationale for the curriculum that ensures students have a firm foundation for learning with literacy and numeracy skills that are developed well. This is allowing students to fully participate in the extensive opportunities the academy offers." School runs from 8.15 until 3.05 (KS3) or 8.15 until 3.50 (KS4) allowing for Co-curriculum, Co-curricular activities. ; Key Stage 3 All the National Curriculum subjects are taught each week and also a Performing Arts course. Religious Studies and Citizenship are taught together. ; Key Stage 4 In 10 and 11, that is in Key Stage 4 students study a core of English Language, English Literature, Mathematics, Science (Trilogy or Combined), Business and Technology Education Council, BTEC Sport, History and/or Geography Students have three options chosen from three pools, one of which contain History and Geography. Other GCSE options are Business Studies, GCSE Citizenship, GCSE Art, GCSE Computer Science, GCSE Music, CSE History, GCSE Religious Studies, GCSE Design Technology. BTECs are BTEC Performing Arts, BTEC Digital Information Technology, BTEC Enterprise, BTEC Travel and Tourism, BTEC Performing Arts, BTEC Digital Information Technology. In 2020 90% of KS3 students complete an EBacc qualifying Curriculum, with roughly 70% continuing to study Spanish at KS4 and therefore qualifying for the measure.
