Curriculum Options

Y8 Options Evening – Tuesday 25th February 2025, 6pm – 8pm

The curriculum at Tibshelf School is ambitious, inclusive, and designed to give all pupils the knowledge, skills and cultural capital to be successful. The measure of success includes, but is not limited to, outcomes at the end of Year 11, along with developing outstanding citizens ready for the 21st century.

The Year 9 curriculum is a transition year as pupils move towards examination courses, and it is vital that the offer remains broad and varied. They will, however, have the opportunity to select four areas of study in which they will build a strong and deep foundation in preparation for Key Stage 4. They will also continue to study all areas of the curriculum through a ‘short course’ programme of study. This ensures that there is absolutely no narrowing of the curriculum.  Please see the accompanying Options Booklet for more detailed information.
