The EBacc is made up of the subjects which are considered essential to many degrees and open up lots of doors.
Research shows that a pupil’s socio-economic background impacts the subjects they choose at GCSE, and that this determines their opportunities beyond school.
A study by the UCL Institute of Education shows that studying subjects included in the EBacc provides students with greater opportunities in further education and increases the likelihood that a pupil will stay on in full-time education. Sutton Trust research reveals that studying the EBacc can help improve a young person’s performance in English and maths.
The government’s ambition is to see 75% of pupils studying the EBacc subject combination at GCSE by 2022, and 90% by 2025.
We strongly recommend pupils study the EBacc subjects at Millthorpe School.

🗓️ A reminder that school will be closed on Friday 25 October for a Teacher Training Day. School will therefore close for half term at 3.15pm on Thursday 24 October.
