In Years 10 and 11 students follow both a core (English, maths, science) and options curriculum. The options curriculum allows students to progress further in areas in which they have a particular skill or interest. In keeping with our aim of preparing students for the world of work, all students follow a vocation course as part of their options curriculum.
All courses in Year 10 and 11 lead to formal qualifications in the form of GCSE, BTEC, Entry Level Certificate, Functional Skills, OCR Cambridge National and Duke of Edinburgh Award. Each student is therefore able to follow a programme which will lead to accreditation at a level which is appropriate to their ability and which will prepare them for post-16 choices
Post-16 careers advice is provided throughout Key Stage 4, through careers lessons and our independent careers guidance advisor, and all students will complete at least one work experience placement.
