The curriculum is made up of two parts: core subjects and option subjects. Core subjects The Curriculum
All students study the following subjects: English Language English Literature Mathematics Sciences (at least two from Biology, Chemistry, Physics)
Option Subjects
Most girls will take nine GCSEs and choose four option subjects to study alongside the core subjects.
Girls who take eight GCSEs will enter our study support programme and receive additional help to improve their ability to organise their workload and increase their independence in learning. Importantly, with GCSE grades, it is the quality of the grades, not the quantity, that employers and universities will look at. For some students, however, it is more appropriate to take eight GCSEs to give them more time to devote to each subject and therefore increase their chance of getting higher grades.
