Subjects
Students follow a curriculum of traditional core subjects. From years 7 to 9, all students study and take exams in Maths, English, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, ICT, History, Geography, Design Technology, Music, Art, Religious Studies, PSHE and French, plus German, which is started from year 8. In year 9, students must pick four option blocks of either History, Geography, RS, Art, Music, DT(Systems Control or Resistant Materials), French and German, one of which must be a language. These four subjects are studied in addition to Maths, English, English Literature, Chemistry, Physics and Biology for GCSE, as well as non-exam PSHE, Careers and Philosophy and Ethics. Students also have the option to take ICT short course in year 9, and the long course in their own time during Key Stage 4. For A level, students select four subjects to take from the above. They also have the choice of Further Maths, Computing, Economics and Business Studies. General Studies is a compulsory A level for all sixth form students, and is taught for one hour a week. Critical Thinking is also offered as an AS level.
