Orange 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 Orange Pathway, students choose three optional subjects and will receive additional support in Literacy and Numeracy as their fourth option. This targeted support from the SEND team helps strengthen essential skills in reading, writing, and mathematics, boosting confidence and improving overall academic performance. It ensures students have the foundation they need to succeed across all subjects.

Students will take the following core subjects:

English (GCSE)

Maths (GCSE)

Combined Science (GCSE)

In addition, students will be provided with additional support in SEND.
