All students will study English Language and Literature, Mathematics, Science and Core PE. Students are then allowed to choose 4 optional subjects. Students choose either History or Geography and will also take a language (the one they’ve been studying in year 9). New subjects available to them at this stage are: Business Studies, Computer Science, Media Studies, Sports Studies, Health and Social Care and Statistics. For students who may require additional support we provide a bespoke service depending on the needs of the learners in each year group. This can, for example, sometimes take the form of students being provided with additional English and Mathematics.
