What are the options at Key Stage 4?
At KS4 students will study a number of ‘core subjects’ and will also be able to choose some options.
CORE SUBJECTS
- English
- Maths
- Science – with different options depending upon the ability of the student.
- PE
- ICT, for those not taking separate sciences.
OPTION SUBJECTS
Despite being a small school we offer a wide range of options to suit the needs, interests and abilities of our students. These include:
Computer Science |
Art & Design |
Health & Social Care |
History |
Performance |
Materials Technology |
French |
Design Technology |
Geography |
Food Technology |
Sport |
Physical Education |
Religious Studies | Enterprise | Psychology |
Year 9 students choose their options during the spring term. Students and parents will get an opportunity to consider these options in great detail through the options booklet and by attending our ‘Options Evening’. There will also be an opportunity for each student to discuss their choices with a senior member of staff. Throughout this process considerable thought is given to ensuring each individual student has access to the right courses during KS4.
