KS4
The Studio’s KS4 curriculum enables students to study core GCSE subjects of English Language, English literature, maths and combined sciences. Students then opt to follow a specialist pathway of option subjects in the following specialist areas
Creative Sector pathway
GCSE Graphic Design, GCSE Photography & BTEC Level 2 TV & Film Production.
Digital Sector pathway
GCSE Computing, BTEC Level 2 Digital Technologies & BTEC Level 2 Game Design.
Care Sector pathway
GCSE Citizenship, BTEC Leve 2 Health & Social Care & BTEC Leve 2 Child Development.
The above subjects are further supported with weekly timetabled reading and physical education studies.
The curriculum is designed to provide breadth & depth in the specialist areas that build upon a strong foundation of core studies. The combination of specialist subject qualifications gives students a level of skill to a greater depth than can be experienced in a traditional option choice setting. This suite of qualifications enables students to progress through to our own specialist 6th form studies or other areas of Level 3 study.
