Key Stage 4
The New Regent’s College Key Stage 4 Programme offers alternative education for students in year 10 and 11. The Key Stage 4 Programme offers fulltime education placements for students who are referred from Hackney Education and Hackney schools.
At Key Stage 4 students follow a balanced curriculum that combines academic and vocational pathways to support progression into further education, training or employment.
All students study a core of GCSE English Language, mathematics, biology, citizenship and Religious Studies, alongside a range of option subjects including GCSE Food Preparation and Nutrition, Cambridge National Level 1/2 in Sport Science, BTEC Level 1/2 in Digital IT and NCFE Arts and Crafts. Some students also study additional GCSEs such as Combined Science and English Literature, and are encouraged to sit GCSEs in their home languages wherever possible. Alongside their qualification courses, students participate in core PE, PSHE and enrichment sessions which support personal development, wellbeing and the development of skills for future progression.
Specialisms in the team include wellbeing and progression mentoring, special educational needs, careers advice, attendance support, quality and curriculum monitoring and school and family liaison. Our team offer interventions and support with a number of issues that are affecting young people today, such a, personal safety, healthy relationships, managing emotions, relationships building and preparation for education, work and training.
We work in close partnership with professional agencies, such as Inclusion Departments in school, Speech, Language and Communication Therapists, Educational Psychologists, CAMHS, Hackney’s Wellbeing and Mental Health in Schools (WAMHS) project, Social Care, Virtual School, Young Hackney, Attendance and Educational Welfare Officers and the police to ensure students receive the wrap around support they require.

Students wear full school uniform and personal possessions, including mobile phones, are collected on arrival to be securely locked away for the duration of the day.
Students remain onsite throughout the whole school day. If students remain with us on site they are based in either a year 10 or year 11 classroom for core subjects, and then use our state of the art facilities such as the Sports Hall and the ICT Suite for other subjects. Lunch is provided in the dining room.
