In Year 9 students will choose some subjects to study at Key Stage 4 (Year 10 and Year 11). 

These will be the optional subjects they will take for their GCSE exams at the end of Year 11 alongside the compulsory GCSEs of: English language, English literature, Maths, double science and (in most cases) a modern foreign language.

The school will give students information about GCSE choices in a detailed programme in Year 9. You can also find details of the subjects available including video introductions from teachers here.

This will help in selecting the right combination for each student as an individual to ensure they follow a broad and balanced curriculum and, where possible, keep their options open for future academic and career progression.
