Biology
This Triple Science Biology programme of study for Year 10 provides an in-depth exploration of living organisms, their structures, and their interactions. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of the separate science GCSE, it equips pupils with advanced practical skills and theoretical knowledge.
Biology
This curriculum explores the fundamental principles of life from a molecular level to global ecosystems. Students investigate how biological systems maintain balance, how genetic information drives diversity, and how human intervention impacts the natural world.
Business
This Year 10 Business curriculum introduces students to the dynamic environment in which local, national, and global businesses operate. It covers fundamental concepts including enterprise, marketing, human resources, and financial management, preparing students for their GCSE examinations.
Chemistry
This Year 10 Triple Chemistry curriculum provides an in-depth exploration of atomic structure, bonding, quantitative chemistry, and chemical changes. Designed for students pursuing separate science GCSEs, it builds a rigorous foundation for advanced study through practical investigations and theoretical modelling.
Chemistry
This course investigates the fundamental principles of chemistry through the lens of atomic theory and quantitative analysis. Students explore how the arrangement of subatomic particles dictates the behavior of elements and the energy changes involved in chemical transformations.
Citizenship
A comprehensive study of the UK political system, legal framework, and the role of the citizen in a globalized world. Students analyze the tension between state security and individual liberty while developing the skills to participate in democratic life.
Computing
This course explores the architecture of digital systems and the logic behind modern software. Students develop robust programming skills while investigating the ethical and security implications of a hyper-connected world.
Economics
An introductory exploration into how individuals, firms, and governments make decisions under conditions of scarcity. Students analyze market forces, evaluate government interventions, and develop the analytical tools required to understand the modern global economy.
English
A comprehensive Year 10 curriculum designed to bridge the gap between Key Stage 3 and GCSE requirements. Students engage with complex literary heritage texts and contemporary non fiction to develop critical analytical skills and sophisticated writing voices.
Film Studies
This Year 10 Film Studies curriculum introduces students to the historical, social, and cultural contexts of cinema. Students will analyse film language, explore genre conventions, and evaluate the impact of key cinematic movements on modern filmmaking.
Geography
A comprehensive exploration of the physical processes shaping our world and the human activities that define our global society. Students analyze complex interactions between natural systems and human development through case studies and geographical data.
Geology
This Year 10 Geology curriculum explores the dynamic processes that have shaped our Earth and the historical relationship between human societies and geological resources. Pupils will investigate Earth's history, tectonic hazards, and the socio-economic impacts of resource extraction, aligning with Key Stage 4 objectives to foster critical thinking about our planet's past and sustainable future.
History
Key Stage 4 GCSE History Year 10: a comprehensive study of British history, featuring the thematic study of Crime and Punishment (c.1000–present), the historic environment of Whitechapel, and the depth study of Anglo-Saxon and Norman England.
Mathematics
This curriculum bridges foundational concepts with advanced analytical thinking to prepare students for higher level study. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of algebra, geometry, and statistics through rigorous problem solving and real world application.
Media Studies
This Year 10 Media Studies curriculum introduces pupils to the theoretical framework of media, focusing on media language, representation, industries, and audiences. Students will critically analyse a range of media products and develop practical production skills in preparation for their GCSE Non-Examined Assessment (NEA).
Physics
This Year 10 Triple Physics curriculum provides a rigorous foundation in fundamental physical concepts, preparing students for the demands of the separate science GCSE. Students will explore energy, electricity, particle models, and atomic structure through deep theoretical study and practical investigation.
Physics
This curriculum explores the fundamental principles governing matter and energy through rigorous mathematical modeling and practical investigation. Students progress from classical mechanics to the complexities of electromagnetism and atomic structure to build a robust foundation for advanced scientific inquiry.
Psychology
This Year 10 Psychology curriculum introduces students to the fundamental principles of human behaviour and mental processes. Aligned with GCSE specifications, it explores key psychological concepts, research methods, and the application of psychological theories to everyday life.
Combined Science
This Year 10 Combined Science curriculum provides a robust foundation across biology, chemistry, and physics, aligning with the Key Stage 4 National Curriculum. Students will develop their scientific thinking, experimental skills, and analytical abilities through practical investigations and theoretical study. The course prepares students for their GCSE examinations by exploring fundamental scientific concepts and their real-world applications.
Sociology
This Year 10 Sociology curriculum introduces students to the core concepts of society, social structures, and socialisation.
