Students in KS4 will study approximately nine qualifications. Subjects will fall under two main categories: Core and Optional. Core subjects are compulsory and will be studied by all students (subject to entry requirement). Optional subjects are chosen by students in April of Year 9.
What is the English Baccalaureate?
The English Baccalaureate requires students to take GCSEs in English, Maths, Science, History or Geography and a foreign language.
We want to ensure as many students as possible complete this so that students have access to the best opportunities after Globe. This includes entrance into a Russell Group university and the top professions, with the ultimate goal being that they become leaders in their community and masters of their own destiny.
