Year 9

In Year 9 a second foreign language (German, Spanish or Latin) is studied. French, English and Mathematics are setted across the year. History, Geography, Religious Studies, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology are taught as form-based subjects. All pupils study subjects chosen from a list containing Art, Design Technology, Drama, Electronics and Music. Information Technology is further developed through other academic subjects. During Year 9, pupils are invited to consider the subjects they will take to GCSE Level. The option arrangements allow a wide choice provided that the final selection gives a balanced curriculum and can be reconciled along with the selections of all hundred pupils in the age-group. We attempt to satisfy the wishes of the majority and to keep all class sizes reasonable. There is plenty of opportunity for pupils and parents to discuss details with staff.
