Pupils are guided in their choice of 8 or 9 GCSE / BTEC subjects to suit their aspirations, talents, and preferred learning styles.
The options and combinations of GCSE and BTEC are vast, catering equally for the highly academic, traditional subjects such as English, Mathematics (including Further Mathematics and Statistics GCSEs), Welsh, the Sciences, History, and Spanish to the more practical, vocational, and technical options such as Business Studies, Product Design, Engineering, Art and Performing Arts.
Core subjects which all pupils will take in Years 10-11 include English Language, English Literature, Mathematics, Science, General Social Education, Entrepreneurship, PE, and Outdoor Education (in Year 10). Most teachers take the post-graduate (or equivalent) qualification in Dyslexia, Literacy, Support, and Intervention.
