Dear Parents and Students,
This website provides information about the core compulsory and optional subjects that will be studied in Years 10 and 11. The underlying principle, in line with our school mission is to provide ‘Exceptional learning opportunities that emphasise achievement, personal fulfillment, service to others, learning skills and responsible global citizenship’.
Students will confirm their choices by the end of term one. Take time to read carefully the course outlines contained in this website. In addition to the information provided here, students should speak to their subject teachers, Heads of Faculty, Heads of Subject, their tutors and their parents for further guidance and support. If you would like more details about any aspect of the Pre 16 curriculum for Years 10 and 11, please do not hesitate to contact us.
A final word on the number of GCSEs…
We have researched carefully the provision of other leading schools around the world, and acted upon the advice from the best universities globally.
In so doing we have adopted the recommendation of the UK’s leading research universities (the Russell Group) that 8 to 10 (I)GCSEs certificates is the maximum desired number for study by students in Years 10 and 11.
Remember- QUALITY NOT QUANTITY IS KEY!
Mrs Clare Haworth
Vice Principal
