Ebacc Subjects

The EBacc is not a qualification in its own right – it’s a combination of GCSE subjects, including a modern foreign language, that offer an important range of knowledge and skills to young people.

The subjects listed are studied in addition to the core subjects of English language, English Literature, Maths and Science.

All students will study either History or Geography (or both) and about half of the year group should also study a Modern Foreign Language.

We strongly recommend that you continue to study a language and complete the Ebacc. 

Languages are an important part of a broad and balanced curriculum, they provide an insight into other cultures and can open the door to travel and employment opportunities.
