Curriculum

Our current Key Stage 4 offer in Years 10 and 11 includes three separate pathways, designed to ensure that students receive a curriculum offer that’s right for them and provides the necessary level of support and challenge.  Within these pathways, there remains a range of choices for Castle Rock students to choose from. 

In Year 10 students will opt for an additional level 2 qualifications. Our pathways encourage students to fulfil the EBacc, as these subjects ensure that all doors to future careers remain open and provide a broad and balanced curriculum.
