AVALINE SCHOOL Year 9 Course

In UK year 9 studnets Compulsory subjects are dictated by the necessity of teaching a uniform core and the statutory requirements of the National Curriculum. In Years 9, 10 & 11, the details of the option groups are determined largely by demand and vary from year to year, but the guiding principles are to ensure a sound basic education and to keep options open as far as possible. Students are normally required to study English Language, English Literature, Mathematics, Science and Religious Education (Ethics) and Physical Education in addition to four further subjects from the options available. All students in Year 9 also participate in an enrichment programme that allows them to experience a range of activities within the curriculum that may enable them to develop or extend skills beyond the main curriculum offer. Examples of activities include basic Sports Leadership, Speaking Skills and App Development.
