Pathways to the Future 2023/24

Year 9 students are about to enter an exciting phase of their educational career: for the first time they will have the opportunity to select some of the subjects that they will study. We recognise that making these decisions can sometimes be difficult. Some students have a clear idea about the career they wish to pursue but many of them may be unsure at this stage. The learning journey through the curriculum that they have followed so far has been carefully sequenced to allow them to develop the skills, knowledge and understanding needed to achieve their best at Key Stage 4. Our learning pathways will ensure they retain a balanced and varied programme of study.

This is an important decision and we will guide you in making the right choices. It is important for students to talk to their form tutor, their class teachers and their parents/carers, engage with the subject information videos and assemblies, PSHE lessons and attend their guidance interview.
