GCSE Course Structure
All pupils follow courses leading to GCSE in nine or more subjects. Care is taken to ensure a balance between the need to specialise and to keep in touch with a wide range of subjects. So the curriculum during these years is arranged as follows:
All pupils must study Mathematics, English, one Modern Foreign Language and the Sciences to GCSE level. They must also attend courses in Physical Education, PSE and Religious Education.
As well as the compulsory subjects above, all pupils must choose three optional subjects from the following list: History, Geography, Latin, German, Food Science, Art and Design, Drama, Music, Design and Technology, Information Technology.
We expect pupils to include at least one humanity and a practical/creative subject in their choices. This pattern provides a balance between specialisation and general choice. As a guide, all optional GCSE subjects are taught for about 2 1/4 hours per week.
