Learning pathways are chosen through consultation with students, parents, class teachers, and the Senior Leadership Team, focusing on the suitability and demands of each subject.
Our curriculum provides exciting opportunities that challenge and inspire students, promote a love of learning, and help them achieve their potential—all within a program that they enjoy.

Key Stage 4 Options Process (Year 9)
In Year 9, students take part in the Options process in order to choose from a range of additional subjects to accompany their Core Curriculum. We aim to ensure that students, parents and carers are able to make well-informed decisions with the guidance of support of teachers and senior leaders.
