Excel Route

Some students may be guided towards the Excel Route. Retaining its highly aspirational core of subjects, the Excel Route still allows for a student to opt for the EBacc Route but also offers within it more flexibility and choice according to their individual needs and preferences.

If you are guided to study the Excel 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
• Core PE
• PSHE (in tutor)

Two further subjects from the following list:

• BTEC Hospitality and Catering
• 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 Computer Science
• GCSE Dance
• GCSE Design & Technology

*N.b. some subjects may not run due to timetable constraints or lack of demand. We always endeavour to give pupils their first choices.
