We offer all pupils in the Fourth Form a balanced and broad curriculum so that few options are ruled out before GCSE choices are made at the end of the Fourth Form. Pupils will study: Art, Biology, Chemistry, Design & Technology, Drama, English, French, Geography, History, Information Technology, Mathematics, Music, Physics and Religious Studies.   In addition a pupil studies either Latin or Classical Civilisation and has brief introductory courses in German and Spanish before opting for one of them.

There is an options system in the Lower and Upper Fifth Forms which enables pupils to take ten GCSE subjects. They will study GCSEs in the core subjects –  English Language and Literature,  French.and Mathematics.  The options system then allows them to study either three optional subjects and Triple Award Science GCSE or four optional subjects and Dual Award Science GCSE.   Additionally all pupils will take Religious Studies as a certified short course which is examined externally at the end of the Lower Fifth year. To complete their choice of GCSE courses pupils may choose from Art, Classical Civilisation, Design & Technology, Geography, German, History, Latin, Music, Spanish and Theatre Studies.

The curriculum is revised regularly; changes are therefore likely from time to time.
