Year 9

Year 9 is the year in which students select their GCSE subjects for year 10 & 11.

In Design & Technology Department we give the students another trip around all of the subjects in shorter 6 week modules as they decide on their options. After they have made choices, we then sort them within the department into their preferred subject area for the final 8 week, pre-GCSE module in the department.

This allows students to develop skills and knowledge pre-GCSE and then for the students who do not select a GCSE it gives them the chance to complete one final module in their favourite D&T area.
