Year 10
In Year 10 students enter a new phase of their education: Key stage 4.
September 2021 - Information Video below.
Having chosen their own curriculum, year 10 is where students fully embrace an academically rigorous experience, fully prepared for the challenges ahead after securing the key knowledge and understanding from our KS3 curriculum. Setting is applied in some areas. Students are placed in ability sets for maths, English, science and PE. These classes are based on prior attainment and updated GL assessments for the core subjects. All other subjects are taught as mixed ability classes.
