Programme of Study
In Y9 students at Queen Elizabeth High School will study the national curriculum with continued exposure to a wide range of subjects. The variety of experiences will enable students to progress to a broad and balanced curriculum at Key Stage 4.
We want our students to maintain breadth in Y9 and through their exposure to the high school curriculum make informed choices about their next stage of study. We believe that key stage 3 is the engine of the curriculum and Y9 is the culmination of the students’ educational journey through this key stage from middle to high school.
Students will study the following subjects in Y9:
- English (Literature & Language)
- Mathematics
- Science (Biology, Chemistry & Physics)
- A Modern Foreign Language (French/Spanish)
- History
- Geography
- Art
- Technology
- Computing/IT
- Drama
- Music
- PE
- RE
- PSHE
