Year 9

Our aim is to allow each pupil to develop his or her potential to the maximum. This means setting the highest academic expectations for each Reptonian, and then developing the systems to monitor and support each pupil's individual progress. We believe that this allows pupils to achieve more than they could have imagined.

B Block pupils are offered a broad and balanced curriculum, ahead of making their GCSE subject selections.

As well as studying core subjects including all three sciences, pupils can select from a choice of Modern Foreign Languages (French, German and Spanish) and Classics (Latin and Gratin). Our Creative Studies programme ensures pupils have access to Art, Design Technology, Drama, Music and the creative applications of Digital Literacy.

Pupils at Repton in A/O Blocks study a combination of core and optional subjects.

All pupils study English, English Literature, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry and Physics (leading either to three GCSEs in separate sciences for the more able students or two GCSEs in Combined Sciences). The vast majority of pupils also take a modern foreign language (French, German or Spanish) as a core GCSE. In A Block, all pupils receive one lesson in PSHE per week. Pupils choose three subjects as optional subjects from the following list: Art, Business, Classical Greek with Latin (Gratin), Design Technology, Drama, French (for dual linguists), Geography, History, Latin, Music, Physical Education and Religious Studies. Art and Music may also be taken off the timetable to provide pupils with the choice of a fourth optional subject.
