Introduction: Why Wendover?
Interactive Learning
Students quickly become interactive learners on screen and paper under Wendover Online School's experienced guidelines.
Growth Mindset
We encourage our students to develop a growth, rather than fixed mindset - to try new things and ask questions with confidence.
Hands-on Learning
We inspire confidence and creativity with practical experiences as much as possible. Sciences and arts are taught along with extra curricular subjects.
Dedicated Support
Our weekly one-to-one 20 minute tutorials and group tutorials encourage students to share skills and interest with teachers and fellow students.
Welcome to studying Lower Secondary with Wendover Online School
Key Stage 3 is a time for students to start stretching their wings. We encourage the development of key skills and strategies for successful learning. Independence is a gradual process and we guide and support students carefully at their own pace to thrive in their education and development.
Learning is more formalised by academic subject, allowing our young people to explore topics in more depth and, over time, with increasing challenge. There are opportunities for learners to explore their own passions through independent projects which are supported by teachers.
As students progress through Key Stage 3 they are prepared for the move to GCSEs. We believe it’s important that they have developed their study skills so that the transition to Key Stage 4 is a smooth one and that students have developed a confidence in their own skills.
Key Stage 3 is an exciting developmental journey, where the foundations for future successes are laid. We are privileged to be part of this progression.

Timetables
We are so so lucky with our learning , we get to do so many fantastic things in the curriculum that we’d never do in another school. My sibling says they’ve chosen the wrong school and they are so jealous of what I learn !
