The choice is Food Technology, Resistant Materials, Textiles or Graphic Design. There are also a variety of other subjects that can be taken. Students must take English, Mathematics, Science and a short course in Religious Education. Students must attend Physical Education lessons, but will only be examined if they choose to study it at GCSE level. Students may choose to continue studying the Modern Language they studied at Key Stage level.
