What subjects does we study?

In Years 10 and 11 all students follow a common core which consists of:

• GCSE English Language
• GCSE English Literature
• GCSE Maths
• GCSE Science (Combined)
• GCSE History, GCSE Ancient History or GCSE Geography
• GCSE Spanish*
• Core Physical Education
• Core PSHE**

*The vast majority of students study Spanish. Occasionally, some students may perform better across the curriculum with a slightly different programme of study - in these few cases, students will be offered an alternative. 

**Core PSHE - this is delivered in bespoke collapsed sessions so that students benefit from specialist teachers and guest speakers.

In addition to the core subjects, there is a wide range of optional subjects, including:

• GCSE Art and Design
• GCSE Business Studies
• GCSE Computer Science
• GCSE Drama
• GCSE DT: Product Design
