The Wolsey Hall Year 8 Digital Literacy course follows the Cambridge Lower Secondary Curriculum.

We have ensured that all of the Cambridge Lower Secondary Curriculum outcomes are covered in the course and the table below provides an overview of how the Wolsey Hall course can be mapped to the Cambridge Lower Secondary Curriculum.
