Curriculum - GCSE

The steps in the school career of our Year 9 pupils at Ysgol Caer Elen will certainly be important and exciting. As Year 9 pupils come to the end of Progression Phase 4 and begin their GCSE studies we will ensure that we provide the best guidance and advice which will help them make decisions regarding subject choices that are most relevant to their future career pathways. 

During Year 10 and Year 11 they will study the core subjects which are Welsh, English, Mathematics and Science. The other compulsory subjects are Religion, Values and Ethics, the Welsh Baccalaureate, RSE and Physical Education.

They will also have the opportunity to choose three subjects from the three Option Blocks created. In addition, they will also need to make sure that they choose wisely and consider which subjects are most relevant to their future pathway.
