Curriculum Overview KS4

Key Stage  4

Key Stage 4 (KS4) is completed over a three year period.  Year 8 students start the process of preparing to make their Key Stage 4 Option choices in January prior to them starting Year 9 in September.  The curriculum offer is diverse. 

Additionally, a small number of students, where appropriate, also have the opportunity to follow a course at a local college in Years 10 and 11.

Please look at our KS4 Options booklet to see the range of compulsory and optional courses we offer. KS4 Booklet 2025

If you have any questions with regards to the curriculum that is followed within each faculty area, the relevant Head of Faculty will be happy to assist you with your enquiry – see Key Contacts on our Contact page.

We are proud of our broad, innovative curriculum and outstanding learning and teaching.

What I have loved about my three years so far at SGS are the brilliant resources and facilities. For example, I really enjoy the library at shooting field, which has a range of books and ebooks (which I can read on my iPad at home and at school).
