Year 9 Guided Pathways

Wales High School provides a broad and balanced curriculum, which engages and challenges our students to achieve the best possible range of qualifications they can.  The curriculum is designed to offer students a diverse range of courses and learning experiences and to develop skills and knowledge for life. Our students are in a rapidly changing world and the curriculum at Wales High School provides opportunities to progress and meet these challenges.

As well as studying the core subjects of English Language, English Literature, Maths, Science, PSHE and PE, students will have the flexibility to choose further options on a guided pathway.  In the Key Stage 4 curriculum there are three, 3-hour subject choices and one 2-hour subject choice.  The flexibility in the 2-hour subject may be used to support a student’s progress in English or Maths where needed. These are important choices to make and should be well informed following a process of careers research.
