Courses
Note: These are the homepages of each course for all the year 9 subjects, some pages might not be accessible for some students because they don't take the course. If you can't access a cource but you take it, contact your mentor or teacher, or report it as a bug here.
Courses | GCSE
Year 9 will be going into year 10 in September, which means the stage of GCSE is here! Choosing GCSE subjects might be hard because there are tons to choose from! Remember, when you choose your subjects, think about who you want to be in the future, or at least, what you don't want to be, so you can cross out some subjects. Here are some new subjects that will be added for choosing:
Global citizenship
Religous studies
Business studies
Economics
English
Literature
Psychology
Art
Music
German
Maths foundation and higher
If you are thinking on how many subjects you want to take, the general recommended amount is 9~10 subjects, but this doesn't always have to apply to all pupils, so you'll have to think about it a little and maybe discuss with your mentor, parents, or teachers! Here are the subjects' introductions.
