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.
