What will you study in Years 10 and 11?

In Years 10 and 11 all of our students follow a Core Curriculum of English Language and Literature, Mathematics, and Combined Science (2 GCSEs).

The second subject will be from the School Directed Pathway - students will be directed to the subject that your teachers think suit you best.

The third subject will be from the Ebacc Option list -  a broad choice of facilitating subjects for life-long skills. You will be asked to rank these from 1-7.

The final choice is an Open Option - students will be able to rank these subjects in order of preference. All the subject choices appear in this column with the additions of Business, Health and Social Care and Sport. This allows students to make a choice based on their personal passions.

All students will also study the following subjects alongside their GCSEs.

• PE (recreational)
• PSHE
• Religion, Philosophy and Ethics
• Citizenship
• Careers
