- Year 9 Options
At Hampton High we are committed to offering a broad and balanced curriculum, which prepares our students effectively for adult life. Our aim is to ensure that when students choose their GCSE options in Year 9, they feel prepared and are able to study courses that suit their needs and aspirations.
The rigorous pathways process, led by the Head of Year, ensures the best pathways are selected for each individual student. We take into account a multitude of considerations, with the students at the centre of the decisions. The families role in the process is vital, and therefore we have presentations and videos for you to browse so that you can support your child's decisions and help them to make informed choices.
To help provide the best opportunities for your child to achieve their full potential, we have reviewed the curriculum to include the following changes:
- Separate sciences will be studied by all students in Year 10 and 11
- All students will select 4 options
In addition to their option subjects they will study:
- English language
- English literature
- Maths
- Biology
- Chemistry
- Physics
All students will study Physical Education and Personal, Social, Health & Citizenship Education (PSHCE) courses. These will not result in a qualification, but are a vital part of our curriculum.
