The Key Stage 4 Pathways booklets below give an overview of the range of courses available. Please use the information below to help you make these important decisions about your future. We continually review the curriculum that all students follow to ensure that they achieve the best grades possible. This may result in changes to the subjects being studied and the Key Stage 4 timetable if your child's performance is not achieving the desired outcomes.
