Key Stage 4
At Beckfoot, Key Stage Four refers to years 10 and 11.
Students have 25 hours of learning a week. You can see how this is broken down on Our Curriculum Model.
Students also have a designated PSHCE (Personal, Social, Health and Citizenship Education) session each week.
All students have personalised pathways that suit their aspirations for life. A variety of enrichment opportunities also help build their confidence, skills and self-esteem.
These pathways include a range of academic and vocational opportunities.
All students study:
- Maths
- English
- Science (Triple or Double)
- Core PE (non-certified)
- One Modern Foreign Language (French or German)
- One Humanities Subject (History or Geography)
Students then choose two additional options from:· History· Geography· French· German· Religious Education· Computer Science· Business· Health· Art· Photography· Graphics· Textiles· Hospitality· Engineering· PE Btec· Music· Performance Studies
All students follow the EBACC pathway, as this is the best route through GCSEs and onto post 16 study. This also ensures that they maintain a breadth of study right up to the end of Year 11.
