GCSE Humanities
 
Some of the most able Year 9 students will get the opportunity to get accreditation for the work they have done in year 8 and 9 by sitting GCSE Humanities at the end of year 9. This has many benefits including:

       - Giving students an extra GCSE
       - Enabling students to make more informed options choices at Year 9
       - Giving students valuable exam experience for their other GCSE's

 
Humanities blends together elements of many subjects mainly Citizenship, Geography, History, Religious Studies and Sociology.
