Years 10 and 11 - Key Stage 4

Years 10 and 11 are for pupils aged 14 to 16 years, following GCSE courses.

Pupils remain in their mixed ability form groups, based on house allocation but are divided depending on subject choices. The class size averages 16 pupils, and specialist teachers deliver all lessons. As well as formal lessons, trips and visiting speakers are an important part of our balanced and extensive study programme. Homework is an important element of the curriculum.

Each term, parents will receive either a full written report in each subject, or a grade sheet in each subject. Parents’ Evenings are also held regularly: Year 10 in November and Year 11 in October, with a Sixth Form Information Evening being held in November. Throughout the year, Year 11 pupils follow a structured course in Careers Education and Guidance and they, together with their parents, are offered extensive advice and guidance on the options available at 16.

Lessons last for 40 minutes. Full school assemblies are held on Monday and Friday mornings, with a Year group assemblies on Wednesday morning. Form periods take place on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. School uniform must be worn.
