Halfway through Form 3, pupils make their GCSE subject choices supported and guided by our expert Careers Department. With 26 options, there is a huge variety of subjects, new and old, for pupils to study.
All pupils take English Language, English Literature, Dual-Award Science (which comprises Biology, Chemistry and Physics) and Mathematics, together with a choice from History, Geography, Religion and Philosophy, French, Spanish, German, Drama or Music and a variety of Creative Arts subjects (Fine Art – Painting and Mixed Media, Textile Design or Sculpture, or Design Technology focusing on Electronics Products, Resistant Materials or Graphics Products). Other academic options include: Citizenship Studies, Classical Civilisation, Computer Science, Creative iMedia, Greek, Latin and Physical Education.
In some of the subjects we have selected to follow the IGCSE syllabus, which we consider a better qualification at this level. They have equivalent status to GCSEs for universities and employers.
