In the Spring term of Year 9 you begin the process of deciding on the courses you wish to follow in Years 10 and 11. Since there is obviously a strong link between these Option subjects and your future career, it is important that careful consideration is given to the whole process. Your parents need to be closely involved and are asked to read this booklet and engage in discussions with you and staff alike. Implications of choices made now will have an impact on what you do in the future both in terms of motivation to succeed, and future careers and education pathways.

 

In the Option booklet, Heads of Department describe the courses in our Key Stage 4 Programme which begins next September. The booklet contains detailed information about every course and we hope this will be helpful. We also encourage you to ask your teachers for further advice and information.

 

 

 

 

 

Students are required to follow a small core of compulsory courses in English, Mathematics, Science, Physical Education and ICT. Other compulsory elements which include Religious Studies, Careers Education, Sex Education, Work-related learning and Citizenship will also be incorporated. In accordance with Government Guidelines we now offer an Alternative Curriculum route of study for nominated students incorporating Vocational Courses, College Placements and Extended Work Experience.
