Key Stage 4 Curriculum

Years 9 & 10

As pupils move from Year 8 into Year 9, they take a narrower range of subjects and specialise in their strength areas.

There are a number of subjects which are compulsory at key stage 4.

• English
• Mathematics & Numeracy
• Double Science or Seperate Sciences (Triple Science)
• Welsh
• Religion, Values and Ethics
• Sport & Games
• Wellbeing

Pupils are able to select four other subjects from a wide range of academic and vocational courses. These are detailed on the Year 8 options page.

In some subject areas, pupils are ‘fast-tracked’ through two subject areas within one option line. For example, Art & Design and Graphics or Graphic Products and Engineering

Years 10 & 11

Subject deadline dates for Year 10 and Year 11 are available on the examinations page.
