ACADEMIC

Over 20 subjects at Key Stage 3 and as examination courses at GCSE

The Bradford Girls’ Grammar Senior School is not bound by the National Curriculum, but does operate within its guidelines for the content of individual subject areas.

A language carousel is provided in the first year to introduce girls to German and Spanish.

At Key Stage 4, girls study Biology, Chemistry and Physics to gain GCSE Science and GCSE Additional Science. If ability and progress allows they may study science in more depth which allows them to gain GCSE in Biology, Chemistry and Physics i.e. to gain an extra GCSE.

All girls study nine full subjects at GCSE. In addition, GCSE Short Courses are offered in Physical Education and Information & Communication Technology.

• Differentiated tasks are used to challenge the gifted and talented or to support those who may need extra help. Due regard is also taken of the girls with special needs such as dyslexia, dyspraxia etc
