GCSE options |

In Year 9, a broad curriculum gives pupils opportunities to explore subjects before progressing to GCSE study in Years 10 and 11. Careful guidance on subject choices helps pupils consider their interests, strengths and future plans. Alongside core subjects, options include modern languages, humanities, creative subjects and physical education. Families can check our current GCSE options information for the subjects and combinations available. |
Academic ambition and personal wellbeing go hand in hand. |
We provide a comprehensive wellbeing programme aimed at nurturing resilience, self-awareness, and positive mental health. |
PSHE, pastoral care and access to counselling and support services help pupils navigate the academic and personal demands of their teenage years. Staff work with parents to discuss concerns and coordinate support where it is needed. |
