KS4

At KS4 (Year 9, 10 and 11), students choose 4 option subjects alongside their studies of English, Maths and Science.

All students are encouraged to achieve the English Baccalaureate.  This recognises achievement in the following subjects:

  • Maths
  • English Language
  • Science
  • Humanities
  • Languages

This combination of subjects is not compulsory for students so that they are free to follow their interests.  Students also study non examined Citizenship, PE and PRE.

KS5

In the 6th Form, the majority of students begin on 3 A Level subjects which they continue throughout the course. A small number of students take 4 subjects as do all students studying Further Maths. We are proud of the very wide range of subjects we offer at KS5, full details of which can be found in the 6th Form area of the website. Students receive 6 x 50-minute periods of teaching per week in each of their A Level subjects.
