Subjects
Students follow a curriculum of traditional core subjects. From years 7 to 9, all students study and take exams in Maths, English, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, ICT, History, Geography, Design Technology, Music, Art, Religious Studies, PSHE and French, plus German, which is started from year 8. In year 9, students must pick four option blocks of either History, Geography, RS, Art, Music, DT(Systems Control or Resistant Materials), French and German, one of which must be a language. These four subjects are studied in addition to Maths, English, English Literature, Chemistry, Physics and Biology for GCSE, as well as non-exam PSHE, Careers and Philosophy and Ethics. Students also have the option to take ICT short course in year 9, and the long course in their own time during Key Stage 4. For A level, students select four subjects to take from the above. They also have the choice of Further Maths, Computing, Economics and Business Studies. General Studies is a compulsory A level for all sixth form students, and is taught for one hour a week. Critical Thinking is also offered as an AS level.

Famous quotes containing the word subjects:
“Last night, party at Lansdowne-House. Tonight, party at Lady Charlotte Greville’s—deplorable waste of time, and something of temper. Nothing imparted—nothing acquired—talking without ideas—if any thing like thought in my mind, it was not on the subjects on which we were gabbling. Heigho!—and in this way half London pass what is called life.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“Our family talked a lot at table, and only two subjects were taboo: politics and personal troubles. The first was sternly avoided because Father ran a nonpartisan daily in a small town, with some success, and did not wish to express his own opinions in public, even when in private.”
—M.F.K. Fisher (1908–1992)
“Conversation ... is like the table of contents of a dull book.... All the greatest subjects of human thought are proudly displayed in it. Listen to it for three minutes, and you ask yourself which is more striking, the emphasis of the speaker or his shocking ignorance.”
—Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)
