Year 9 student work

Year 9 subject work, links and resources can be found below. Students are encouraged to work following their school timetable wherever possible.

We recommend students particularly focus on RE revision and exam practice with their GCSE in RE in mind.

After that, they should prioritise English, Maths and Science, followed by their other subjects.

In addition to the work and resources below, students can access a range of online resources on our E-Learning page.

All Year 9 students should also be reading fiction or non-fiction every day, where possible, to extend their learning and vocabulary.
