S4 Curriculum  
All students in S4 will study:  Mathematics 5 periods; English 5 periods; a Core Curriculum consisting of Personal Support, PE, RMPS and PSE.  
For the remaining 20 periods, students will choose at least 5 Learning Options, each studied for 4 periods per week, based on the options on offer.  Students will be asked to choose the title and level of Learning Options they wish to continue with.  PTS and PTG will in discussion with students and parents/carers, determine the most appropriate level.  

 Please consider carefully the options listed below – full details of course structure and content are available by clicking on the subject name.

Subjects have been organised into curriculum themes for display purposes only. You do not need to select from each theme and you are also permitted to select multiple subjects within the one theme. Check with your PT Guidance or subject teachers if you are unsure.
