Pupils are expected to study a technological subject and a modern language. They are then allowed to make selections from the other subjects. Every effort is made to meet pupils' interests. In certain subjects, “Fast-Track” courses are available, allowing pupils with a particular aptitude to sit the a GCSE examination a year early, at the end of Year 10 or occasionally, two years early, at the end of Year 9.
