Year 9 Arts/Tech Curriculum Options 2024-25

Year 8 will opt for three out of four of the following subject areas for Year 9 2024-25: Arts, Drama, Music or Technology. 

Current Government policies mean that students can only take 3 of these subject areas at GCSE.  Arts include Fine Art, Art Textiles, and Photography. Technology includes Graphics & Systems, 3D Design and Hospitality & Catering. Students in Year 9 will benefit from smaller classes and more time in their favourite subjects.

More information on our curriculum can be found on the school website:  https://www.threeriversacademy.org/Curriculum/
