The best for everyone, the best from everyone
We continue to provide a broad and balanced curriculum at KS4, aiming to provide our pupils with the best possible GCSE and Level 2 qualifications, preparing them to take the next steps into Post 16 study, employment or training.
The majority of pupils will take GCSE’s in the following subjects:
All KS4 pupils will study Core Physical Education (non – examination) and PSHE and Citizenship (non – examination)
Pupils will all select two English Baccalaureate subjects and choose one from History or Geography and one from Spanish or French.
Pupils also have two free choice subjects from the following:
Other KS4 courses offered at Cedar Mount Academy:
In addition, we have alternative pathways where they are better suited to our pupils needs such as Entry Level programmes in English, maths and science and the AQA Unit Awards.
EAL pupils who are new to English also can opt to study for the Access to English programme in option A reducing the number of GCSEs they study and giving them additional support.
