Green Pathway

Woodcote High School has designed specific pathways for its students at Key Stage 4 (Years 10 and 11): the PURPLE Pathway, the GREEN Pathway and the ORANGE Pathway. We ensure students take courses that are suitable for them and give them the best possible chance of success, of fulfilling their potential and achieving the best possible results.

On the Green Pathway, students must choose one subject from either History or Geography because of the valuable skills these subjects develop and teach. Both enhance critical thinking, analysis, and communication – key skills valued by colleges, universities, and employers. These subjects help to strengthen literacy and decision-making skills, and they open doors to a wide range of future opportunities. Studying at least one of these key subjects in addition to the core subjects of English, Maths and Science affords students with the opportunity to gain a competitive edge in an increasingly global job market while keeping their options open for a wide range of future careers and higher educational studies.

Students will also have three further choices of option subjects to select from a wide range of courses on offer.

Students must choose one of the following subjects:

Geography (GCSE)

History (GCSE)
