The table given below shows our initial timetable structure for Year 12 starting in August 2024. The lessons in each column run at the same time so students are unable to choose more than one subject in each column. You can make your choices through the link to the online system at the bottom of this page. This is initially constructed taking into account typical demand. We may need to move around blocks eventually to cater for the majority of students; we will let you know as soon as possible if this affects your original choices. If your desired combination of subjects does not work, please see Mrs Devine-Costa as soon as possible.
PLEASE NOTE Unfortunately, for all pathways, there are times when a subject is not chosen by many students and we are unable to staff that course, or we need to move blocks to accommodate the majority. Should this apply, we will contact the affected individuals as soon as possible.
IB Diploma (IBDP) Choose one subject from each block (A-F), making sure that you have one subject from each IB group (1-6, indicated by the number in brackets). You must also have 3HL and 3SL. If you have a particular university pathway or vocation in mind that requires you to replace a group 6 (art) with a second subject then please consult the arts policy and note this on your application. The CORE will be automatically added to your timetable.
Notes:
Some students taking Chinese B HL may have 4 HLs - this is acceptable if recommended by the Chinese department.
Students may choose an additional Group 1 subject instead of a Group 2 subject to earn a Bilingual Diploma (e.g Chinese A1 in Block A and English Lit in Block B, or self-taught A and English Lit A)
The following subject combinations require you to seek advice from Mrs Devine Costa: ESS and Bio; ESS and Geog; SEHS and Bio.
Students cannot take IB Economics and IB Business
IB Careers Programme (IBCP) The BTEC diploma course is made up of the Diploma and the Subsidiary lessons of that subject so you must choose both Diploma and Subsidiaryin the same subject; you then choose up to 3 IB courses. The CORE will be added later.
International Diploma (ID) The BTEC diploma course is made up of the Diploma and the Subsidiary lessons of that subject so you must choose both Diploma and Subsidiary in the same subject. You can then choose your BTEC Subsidiary and up to 2 IB courses from the three remaining blocks. EPQ will be added later if selected.
WIS Engineering Pathway Choose WIS Engineering pathway (Blocks A-D) and IB subjects from blocks E and F. Common combinations might be Maths and Physics, Maths and DT.
