Key Stage 4

We aim to provide a curriculum that motivates and encourages creativity, and offers appropriate challenge to children of all abilities.

At Key Stage 4 all students have 4 periods of English Language and 4 periods of English Literature. They have 7 periods of Maths, 8 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:

Art Geography
Careers Health & Social Care
Computer Science History
Creative iMedia (OCR National) Music
Design Technology – Textiles Performing Arts (Tech Award)
Engineering (Tech Award) Physical Education
Enterprise & Marketing (OCR National) Spanish
Food Preparation and Nutrition Sport (BTEC)
French Triple Science
