Year 9 Pathways

Academy 360 provides excellent opportunities and progression routes that are the envy of any secondary school. The underpinning ethos of our curriculum is student choice.

At Academy 360, we embrace individual choice to help students fulfil their personal ambitions. The Key Stage 4 curriculum incorporates Year 9 as this allows a deeper level of learning to take place; this is vital because it is the final stage of development before students make their choices for Post-16 education and beyond.

It is important to consider your options choices carefully and seek advice from parents, teachers and career advisors. Your choice will undoubtedly shape your future and steer your career pathway. This is the first stage of the options process; we will evaluate your progression route at the end of Year 9 and confirm your Key Stage 4 destination.

We believe that it is crucial that schools develop their curriculum to make it relevant, interesting and purposeful and we are committed to doing this. We wish our students the very best of luck as they embark on this exciting journey.
