Students move into their final year of Key Stage 3 upon entering Year 9. Consideration of future plans and next steps takes place with a focus on making informed choices for exam subject study. This year provides students with a great opportunity to develop key underpinning knowledge that will stand them in good stead for their upcoming GCSE courses, as well as fine-tuning already well developed learning skills.
Running alongside their option choices students will more closely focus on future aspirations and career opportunities, exploring their passions and developing the skills to flourish beyond their school years. Students will receive much guidance from Heads of Department about the rich opportunities that each course can offer. In Learning for Life lessons this career focus is coupled with valuable age appropriate teaching as the children transition towards adulthood, allowing them to reflect on their values, their personal conduct and their place in society.
