HOW TO MAKE CHOICES FOR YEAR 10
SUBJECT CHOICES
Students follow a mixture of compulsory and selected courses – broadly , they choose a Humanities subject , a Language and two others , as below , to make up their total of ten .
Compulsory subjects are English Language , English Literature , Mathematics , three Sciences and the Middle School Core – Critical Thinking and PSHE .
Students will also take one of the following subjects : Classical Civilisation , Geography or History , and one from the following : French , German , Mandarin , Russian or Spanish .
In addition to the above compulsory subjects students will take two further courses from :
l Art l Classical Civilisation l Drama l French l Geography l German l History l Latin l Latin & Greek ( This counts as ONE course ) l Mandarin l Music l Russian l Spanish l Technology : Three Dimensional Design l Technology : Computer Science
Students will take a straw poll in late November . This is an indication of likely choices to assist staffing . Final choices will be made in late January following the Parents Evening . The subjects will be arranged in timetable blocks to maximise the number of choices . Most , but not all , combinations will be possible .
Please note that the provision of courses is subject to sufficient numbers and the availability of resources .
