We have prepared the booklet below to provide valuable information that will help students and their parents/carers to make an informed choice about the subjects and types of qualifications they wish to study for in Years 10 and 11. As part of this process, John Masefield High School is committed to:

i. Providing choice and flexibility so that each student can tailor the curriculum to meet their strengths as a learner and work towards their career aspirations;

ii. Supporting students to make the right choices through providing high quality information, guidance and support;

iii. Ensuring that students have access to a wide range of subjects and qualifications that are challenging, motivating and rewarding;

iv. Equipping students with the skills and competencies that enable them to confidently meet the challenges of working and living in the 21st century;

v. Offering progression beyond Year 11, either at John Masefield Sixth Form or other post-16 providers;

vi. Reflecting real and possible changes at the national level in terms of qualifications at 16.
