Middle V & Upper V (Years 10-11 Key Stage 4)
During the Lower V year (Year 9) pupils make their GCSE subject choices after discussions with their tutors, parents, teachers and Careers staff. The aim is to provide each individual with a balanced course of study which will leave future options open but at the same time lay firm foundations for successful specialisation later.

All pupils will study the following Core subjects: English, English Literature, Mathematics, Science (2 GCSEs) and usually a foreign language.
Health Education, Citizenship, Information & Computer Technology, Physical Education and Careers are also included in the core curriculum.
In addition to the 6 Core examination subjects up to four additional subjects from the following list may be chosen: Additional Science, Art, Business Studies, Applied Business Studies, Design, Drama, Geography, History, I.C.T., Latin, a second Modern Language, Music, Photography and Physical Education.
