The Shell (Year 9) curriculum has been designed to allow students to experience a good range of subjects, before they have to make decisions about which subjects they wish to continue studying at GCSE level.

Throughout Shell, all pupils will be taught a core academic curriculum of English Language and Literature (taught jointly within English), Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry and Physics.

In addition to the core curriculum, pupils choose six subjects from Art, Computer Science, Dance, Design and Technology, Drama, French, Geography, History, Latin, Music, PE, REP and Spanish. Pupils who require Learning Support (LS) choose five subjects, with LS taking the place of the sixth.
