The Curriculum
The school's curriculum is set out in each subject in a Long Term Plan (LTP). LTPs describe what students learn during their five-year journey in each subject.
Year 9 Options
The Year 9 Options process begins in the spring term of Year 9. It is an exciting time as first opportunity for students to have a direct say in what they want to study. The decisions they make now will have an effect on decisions they will make later as a sixteen-year-old; moving into a Sixth Form, starting employment, taking up training or going to college. It is very important that students choose wisely and leave yourself as many avenues open as possible for the future.
