Shared curriculum, local delivery.

HAPU follows the shared MSC Year 7-9 curriculum. The central curriculum remains the same across participating schools, while HAPU can organise its timetable, programmes, competitions and local projects around its own school context.

Year 7Objects

Improvisation & Adaptation

Year 7 introduces MSC through purposeful adaptation. Across Science, Maths and Computing, students begin with an existing problem, idea or solution, investigate how it works, make a reasoned change, test the effect and improve the result. The shared emphasis is that a solution does not have to remain the same: strong adaptations have a purpose and are supported by evidence.

Year 8Planet

Climate Change

Year 8 uses the 2026 Dunwich Heath wildfires as a connected real world context. Science develops understanding of wildfire cause, spread, risk and response. Maths then uses that understanding to model a more resilient fictional visitor and conservation site. Computing completes the sequence by turning scientific and mathematical understanding into a clear digital wildfire information screen for visitors.

Year 9People

The Hidden Reality of Mental Health

Year 9 explores how STEM can help students think more carefully about human experience without reducing people to simple explanations or numbers. Science focuses on assumption, context, wellbeing and response. Maths applies practical planning skills to a fictional wellbeing festival. Computing focuses on responsible digital communication through a screen based awareness campaign.

Important distinction

HAPU does not have a separate version of the MSC curriculum.

The central curriculum pages are the source of truth. This school area explains how that curriculum is organised and extended locally through programmes, projects and school structures.
