Fulston Manor GCSE Options Brochure

Our Key Stage 4 Curriculum We operate a fortnightly timetable of 50 periods and this consists of two parts; Core and Option subjects, for each student. Students access the requirements of the National Curriculum such as sex, health and relationship education, through the Personal Development Curriculum (PDC), which is also compulsory.

Core Curriculum Subjects

All students in Key Stage 4 will study our Core Curriculum subjects: English Language, English Literature, Maths and Combined Science (Combined Science is worth two GCSE grades). Combined Science can be replaced by Triple Science (worth three GCSE grades) if picked as an option subject which are examined, as well as Games and PDC, which are both non-examined subjects.

Option Group A

Students should choose one of the subjects from Option Group A: Geography or History. Students can choose both Geography and History, choosing one in Option Group A and the other in Option Group B .

Option Group B

Students can then choose three remaining subjects from Option Group B. We strongly advise that a language (French or Spanish) is chosen as one of your option choices (you may be invited to an interview to discuss your option choices if you do not choose a language).

All information is accurate at the time of printing. Any option subject which fails to receive at least 15 applications will be reviewed for viability. If a subject does have to be reviewed, all candidates will be informed and a different subject will be selected.
