Year 9 Curriculum
Year 9 Curriculum

The long term curriculum plans present an overview of the topics covered each half term. They also provide information on
the nature of the assessments and offer suggestions on extra resources that can be used to support learning.

It is important to emphasise that these plans are working documents and departments actively use them as a guide to plan
the teaching and assessments throughout the year. However, departments are also flexible enough to respond to the needs
of the learners.

In addition to the curricula for the individual academic subjects outlined in the following pages, students in Year 9 also have
one lesson of PSHE, 2 lessons of PE and two lessons of Games per week.
