Making your Choices

If students are currently in top sets for Languages they should consider doing at least one of the Modern Languages offered in Key Stage 4 - French and German. Technology courses this year are: DT Practical Cookery, DT Graphic Communication, DT Textile Design, DT Product Design, DT Practical Woodworking, and Practical Workshop Skills. Arts subjects: Music, Art and Design, Drama, and Performing Arts. Social Sciences: Business Studies, Enterprise, and Health and Social Care. Humanities: Geography, Global Perspectives, History, and RE. Computer Science, ICT, Manx, Media Studies, BTEC Sport, Physical Education, and Separate Sciences are also available options. In partnership with University College Man, we offer a range of vocational courses.

​

This website is based on the latest information we have, but there may be some changes, prior to the start of courses in September.

 

All subjects are offered as long as there are both enough students opting for the subject (this is usually around 10) and provided specialist teachers continue to be in place.

When you are considering your option choices, please think about the following questions:

  • Are you likely to find the course interesting?


  • Is it essential for your future career?


  • Is it a subject you would like to become good in?


  • Do you like the method of assessment and teaching?

 

You are at a point in your life when you are taking personal responsibility for your academic future. It is very much hoped that it will be a fulfilling and exciting time.
