Our young people in Year 9 will soon be entering Key Stage 4 where they will begin a two-year programme of study that will lead to a range of qualifications at Level 2 (GCSE or equivalent).
Much of the curriculum is compulsory but there is an element of choice which means our students can shape their own programme of learning to relate to their own interests, future education plans and career aspirations. We offer a diverse range of subjects to cater to your interests and aspirations.
A programme of meetings, information evenings and lessons will be scheduled throughout the year and this page will provide all the essential information to help you make informed decisions about your options.
Key Dates for the academic year 2024-25 will be published soon.
Below you will find a link to our Academy Options Booklet, a resource designed to guide students and parents through the exciting journey of selecting the subjects that will shape their academic and personal development.
At Da Vinci Academy, we believe that every student has unique strengths, interests, and aspirations, and our curriculum is carefully designed to reflect this diversity.
This booklet provides a comprehensive overview of the subjects we offer, helping you make informed decisions about the next stage of your educational journey.
