Curriculum Pathways

Choosing your option subjects is an important step but it does not define your entire future. Year 9 at Bishop Fox’s is a transition year, designed to keep your curriculum broad and ambitious while preparing you for the demands of Key Stage 4. The most successful students choose carefully and then commit fully.

We have produced a booklet with clear information about each subject available at Key Stage 4, including course content, expectations and guidance to help students make informed choices.
