Curriculum

In Year 9, students build on their Key Stage 3 experience of Years 7 and 8 and complete their study of a wide range of subjects.

Alongside their familiar diet of subjects ranging from English, Maths and Science, we offer a comprehensive range of subjects that students experience once a fortnight, to prepare them for making informed choices for GCSE in the spring term, ready to start GCSEs in September of Year 10. We also offer Citizenship to ensure students have a wider understanding of politics, the law and finance following Government guidance National curriculum in England: citizenship programmes of study for key stages 3 and 4 - GOV.UK.  To add to our already ambitious curriculum, we include Business Studies in Year 9 as it helps students understand finance, budgeting and the skills involved in the world of work.

Class sizes are around 27 and students' study 50 lessons a fortnight.

At GCSE, all students take English Language, English Literature, Maths and Science. They all choose a humanity of Geography (and/or) History. 

In addition, we are proud that students can choose three other subjects. If students wish to pursue Separate Sciences, this will be one of the options.

At sixth form, students take three subjects, each of which is 9 hours of study.
