These draft subject blocks have been designed to accommodate as much individual subject choice as possible for students entering Year 12 in 2027. They are intended as a guide to help students plan their A Level options and are not fixed or finalised at this stage.
We recognise that every student has their own interests, aspirations and future pathways. We therefore consider individual subject combinations carefully and will review requests on a case-by-case basis. Where possible, we will make adjustments to the blocks to support students’ preferred choices and ensure that their individual pathways are considered.
Please note that a minimum of six students is required for a subject to run. As a result, the availability of some subjects will depend on student demand.
Our aim is to provide the greatest possible flexibility and choice while maintaining a viable and effective timetable for all students.
