Curriculum
The broad curriculum offered at Windermere St Anne's reflects the belief that students should be exposed to as many opportunities as possible and leave the school as well-rounded individuals.
Recognition that learning and communication skills are as important as subject content underpin the way the curriculum is delivered.
The National Curriculum is followed at all levels although at Years 7 to 9 we introduce more breadth and tailor its delivery to the needs of our students
Age 11 – 14 years
Age 14 – 16 years (GCSEs)
Age 16 – 18 (IB Diploma)
International Baccalaureate Diploma
Windermere St Anne’s School is now authorised to offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma as the key curriculum offering for Sixth Form students from September 2007.
The International Baccalaureate is recognized as the “gold standard” examination system at 6th Form level with a curriculum that encourages students of a wide range of ability levels to be active learners, well-rounded individuals and engaged world citizens. Founded in 1968, the IB programme operates in 1,722 schools in 122 countries, and is now highly regarded by universities and employers worldwide. Windermere St Anne’s School plans to offer the Diploma programme for Sixth form students, replacing the A-Level curriculum.
Head, Allan Graham comments, “The ethos of the International Baccalaureate is central to the reasons why we have chosen this new route. Windermere St Anne’s is a member of Round Square - a world-wide association of more than 50 schools on five continents sharing unique and ambitious goals. Students attending Round Square schools make a strong commitment, beyond academic excellence, to personal development and responsibility. This is achieved by participating in community service, work projects, exchange programmes and adventure, which can, and often does, take students half way around the world. The core of the IB Diploma Programme encompasses many of these projects, making the curriculum ideal for our school. It has the added benefit of having no outside interference from any government – and so is based on quality rather than party politics”.

Pre-IB Course
We also offer a one-year Pre-IB Course for International Students to prepare for the IB Diploma Course at Sixth Form.
Students are integrated into our Year 11 classes and would study GCSE subjects and take additional English Language Tuition if necessary.
German students can also qualify for the Mittlere Reife during the one-year course.
