KS4 Options at year 9
Pathways at Key Stage 4
Our courses at Key Stage 4 recognise that there are many different routes through the education system and we aim to provide as wide a range as possible. To make it easier, students will be guided into a variety of different pathways.
Within each pathway there is a range of choices which can be combined to give a balanced and high quality course for Key Stage 4. The combinations which can be chosen all have excellent opportunities for continuing education or training beyond the age of 16. All pathways offer a variety of Vocational and Traditional courses.
Students will be guided to choose course combinations that are suited to their ability level and their future careers plans. Their progress in subjects throughout Key Stage 3 will be taken into account when giving guidance. We aim to provide courses that match students' preferences and we have a good record in achieving a very close match between students' preferences and the courses they are allocated.

Enrichment
Our curriculum includes timetabled enrichment opportunities which usually take place at the end of the Autumn and Summer term for all year groups. These introduce pupils to new opportunities and experiences beyond the traditional school day and help pupils see what surrounds them in new and enriching ways. These days encourage:
Active and deep learning, which includes group work and project-based work that are not
bound by time constraints of traditional lessons.
Opportunities for external visits, allowing pupils to experience learning outside of the classroom
and connect learning to real life.
Use of community and external agencies to allow pupils to see the importance and contribution
of the local community and environment.
The planning of creative and innovative learning experiences using new technologies
Enrichment days are personalised according to each year group and take into account the personal developmental needs of our pupils.
