At Millthorpe we have the highest expectations of young people and want them to gain high value qualifications for further education or employment. Our option choices are structured to keep open as many careers as possible. Our option choices are broad to keep open as many future careers choices as
possible.
Students are placed in a pathway, based on their GSCE predictions, which will enable them to study a broad and balanced range of subjects alongside their free choices.
All students study the core subjects: English Literature, English Language,Maths and Science (Biology, Chemistry and Physics) either as separate subjects (Triple Science) or as part of Combined Science, worth two GCSEs. Students on Pathway 1 will study a language as part of their core subjects.
Below is a list of the GCSE option subjects being offered to current Year 9 students who will begin their courses in September 2025:
More details about each of the subjects can be found in this booklet: Options Booklet 2025 or on our subject pages.
You can also find out more about the exam boards, specifications we teach for each subject and assessment information here.

🌟 Job of the Week - Furniture Designer 🌟
Furniture designers produce designs for furniture to be sold in a variety of ways. Some designers also produce the items and often work closely with other designers and makers.
Some furniture will be designed as one-off, bespoke pieces, whilst others will be made in large quantities. Some people take an apprenticeship or traineeship into becoming a designer.
