Our young people in Year 9 will soon be entering Key Stage 4 where they will begin a two-year programme of study that will lead to a range of qualifications at Level 2 (GCSE or equivalent).
Much of the curriculum is compulsory but there is an element of choice which means our students can shape their own programme of learning to relate to their own interests, future education plans and career aspirations. We offer a diverse range of subjects to cater to your interests and aspirations.
A: In exceptional cases, changes may be considered. However, it is crucial to make well-informed decisions during the initial selection process.
A: Teachers, pastoral staff, and the careers team are available to provide guidance and support throughout the decision-making process.
A: Consider subjects that align with your interests and goals while thinking about the career path you might want to follow in the future. Making good choices now will make your next steps in education, employment and training much easier. A varied subject choice will widen your career potential.
If you have any questions or need further assistance, please contact your child’s form tutor in the first instance. If they are unable to help, please contact Mrs Sarah Sleaford (Deputy Headteacher).
We wish you the best in making your GCSE choices and look forward to supporting you in your academic journey at the Birley Academy.
