Key Stage 4
We aim to provide a curriculum that motivates, encourages creativity and offers appropriate challenge to children of all abilities.
At Key Stage 4 all students have 8 periods of English lessons, leading to 2 separate GCSEs in English Language and English Literature. They have 8 periods of Maths, 10 periods of Science and 5 periods of Religious Education. These lead to GSCEs in each subject (2 in the case of science.) This forms our core curriculum along with 4 periods of Physical Education.
Students then choose four options from the following subjects, which are examined at GCSE unless otherwise stated:
