Achieve Route
Some students may be guided towards the Achieve Route. Retaining its highly aspirational core of subjects, the Achieve Route still allows for a student to opt for an aspirational and broad and balanced offer of subjects, but also offers within it more personalised Level 1/ Level 2 qualifications to support and include all students with a successful Key Stage 4 experience and set of outcomes. This is particularly suited to those with a specific vocational/ employment route planned for post-16.
If you are guided to study the Achieve Route, you will study the following:
- GCSE English Literature
- GCSE English Language
- GCSE Maths
- GCSE Science (Combined)
- GCSE French or Spanish, or the choice of an alternative GCSE/ BTEC qualification.
- GCSE History or Geography or RE, or ASDAN Personal Development Programme (PDP) Bronze, Silver or Gold.
- Core PE
- PSHE (in tutor)
Two further subjects from the following list:
- AQA Unit Award: Design & Technology Life Skills
- BTEC: Level 1/2 Home Cooking Skills
- Cambridge Nationals: Creative iMedia
- Cambridge Nationals: Outdoor Pursuits
- Cambridge Nationals: Sports Studies
- GCSE Art & Design: Fine Art
- GCSE Art & Design: Graphic Communication
- GCSE Art & Design: Textile Design
- GCSE Dance
- GCSE Drama
- GCSE Media Studies
- GCSE Music
- GCSE Physical Education
*N.b. some subjects may not run due to timetable constraints or lack of demand. We always endeavour to give pupils their first choices.
Further adaptations to a student’s individual Key Stage 4 curriculum offer may also be made based on a specific individual need.
