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 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 teach 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
• BTEC Enterprise
• GCSE Food Preparation and Nutrition
• NCFE Graphic Design
• BTEC/GCSE Music (to suit the cohort of students who opt)
• BTEC Performing Arts (Dance)

• GCSE Religious Studies
• BTEC Sport
• GCSE Triple Science

Students who do not study Spanish, also have an additional option from:

• BTEC Animal Care
