Routes to Success
It is time to make some important decisions about the curriculum your child studies in Year 10 and 11 which will need to reflect the GCSE subjects in which your child would like to be examined at the end of Key Stage 4.
We will allocate all students in Year 9 to a member of the Leadership Team so that you have the opportunity to discuss the routes to success and support informed choices about your childs next steps. You will be able to book a timeslot to meet with this person via the MCAS app. Students should also attend the appointment with their parent/carer so that they can agree their selections during the appointment.
Save the date: 13th February 2026
We recognise this is a big decision for our students to make and we understand some might be unsure of what career they would like to pursue in the future. If they haven’t done so already, we do advise students use our careers platform Morrisby.com which will assist them in identify career options that suit them and also inform them of the qualification routes necessary to achieve these.
During Year 9, students will make informed, career driven, choices about their future based on the Routes to Success. They will be supported by the leadership team to choose from:
-

English, Maths, Triple Science, PSHE, Core PE and then the following subjects will be recommended to your child: 1) History, Geography or Religious Studies, 2) Art, Drama or Spanish, 3) Health and social care, BTEC Sports, Hospitality and Catering, Business Studies or Citizenship. . -
