During the Spring term of Year 9, pupils will prepare for the beginning of their Key Stage 4 courses in Year 10. 

Guidance is offered through:

·   Careers within the curriculum

·   Tutorial

·   Subject presentations

·   Careers Convention

At Winterton Community Academy we are determined to ensure this guidance process is a well informed and positive experience in order for the right decisions to be made.  The structure of the programme has the individual pupil as a focus, with consideration given to the expectations placed on the academy and also by the academy to offer professional advice and guidance.  All learners and parent/carers are also invited to a guidance presentation in the Spring Term of Year 9.  The process of consultation and assigning the pupils to subjects continues through to July of Year 9.

In Years 10 and 11, all pupils in the academy currently study a core curriculum:

  • GCSE English Language
  • GCSE English Literature 
  • GCSE Mathematics 
  • GCSE Science (Separates- Biology, Chemistry and Physics or Trilogy/Combined Science)
  • Non-examination course in PSHE
  • Non-examination course in PE
In addition to this core curriculum, all pupils must select three further subjects from a list which includes Art or Photography, French, Performing Arts or Drama, Geography, History, Physical Education / Sport, Enterprise, Hospitality & Catering, Statistics, Health & Social Care, Travel & Tourism and Religious Education.
