School notice:
The Academy reopens after Half Term on Monday 6th June at the normal time of 8:25am.
Students will study a total of 9 GCSE equivalent subjects at Level 1 or 2.
Students will study:
In Year 9 students will choose three option subjects from the following list:
Please note that as the government changes the curriculum these subjects may change.
Students must pick at least one ‘English Baccalaureate Subject’ from the above which are History, Geography, a Language, Triple Science or Computer Science.
Focus Days collapse the timetable for all students periodically throughout the term. During this period either a Department takes a year group or the year group concentrates on an area such as RE, Citizenship, Enterprise, Careers, research skills and a number of other areas. Alternatively this time can be used to go on trips or bring in inspirational speakers for the students. As well as the benefits of focussed time for the students, organising the curriculum this way ensures time is not ‘stolen’ when students go on trips and one department is left free to concentrate on CPD.
Full course content descriptors including chosen examination boards will be completed as we approach students entering Key Stage 4.
Details of the courses can be found on our Options Site.
