Key Stage 4 (Years 10 and 11)

In Years 10 and 11, we offer a wide range of courses alongside our core curriculum of English, Maths, Science, Ethics, Philosophy and Religion and PE.

There are a range of GCSE qualifications and other accredited courses to meet the needs of all our students and each course offered has a clear progression pathway to Post-16 education and employment.

We place a strong emphasis on ensuring academic rigour with our curriculum; because of this, we are able to offer the vast majority of our students the opportunity to gain the English Baccalaureate (Ebacc) qualification.
