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:

€ English Literature

€ English Language

€ Maths

€ Science (Combined)

€ French or Spanish, Level 1/Level 2 Certificate of Personal Effectiveness (CoPE), or the choice of an alternative GCSE/ BTEC qualification.

€ History or Geography, 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 DT Life 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: Business Studies

€ GCSE: Dance

€ GCSE: Drama

€ GCSE: Media Studies

€ GCSE Music

€ GCSE: Religious Studies

€ Level 1 Home Cooking Skills

*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.
