Key Stage 4 Curriculum

 

At Sale High School we see education as empowerment. Our curriculum is designed to help our students achieve their potential by achieving success in a wide range of high-quality qualifications which will open up a whole world of possibilities for them. We are ambitious for our students and our curriculum is designed to open up the most ambitious post 16 pathways for them. We ensure that students have the opportunity to gain qualifications that are valued by colleges, universities, employers and the government.

The school works closely with local FE colleges and sixth forms to make sure that the skills, knowledge and qualifications gained at KS4 fully prepare students for the routes they wish to take in the future.

All students study towards GCSE qualifications in maths, English language, English literature, science and Religious Education and all students take non-examined courses in PSHE and Citizenship and core PE. Choices made in Year 9 determine which courses students study having selected from a broad range which includes art, computer science, drama, design and technology, food preparation and nutrition, geography, health and social care, history, music, modern foreign languages, PE and triple science.
