Phase 3 is the upper school phase, including pupils in Years 9 to 11.
Henry Richard School prides itself on being able to offer a wide range of courses to the highest standard at Key Stage 4. We have dedicated teachers and staff who support pupils to ensure their success. During Phase 3, pupils will study the following core subjects:
Welsh, English, Mathematics, Science, Religious Education, Physical Education, Personal and Social Education (PSE), and the Welsh Baccalaureate.
In addition, pupils can choose from the following subjects for their GCSEs:
Physical Education, Agriculture, ASDAN/COPE, Religious Studies, Business, Food and Nutrition, Art and Design, Music, Geography, Drama, Design and Technology, French, Photography, Triple Science, History, Health and Social Care, Additional Mathematics, Work Skills, Information Technology, and Textiles.
As pupils begin their education in Phase 3, the main focus is ensuring they select courses suitable for their future. At the end of Year 9, pupils will make their options choices and start those courses after half-term in the summer term. During KS3, pupils’ progress is carefully tracked to provide every opportunity to reach their academic potential.
In addition to academic work, all pupils are encouraged to participate in extracurricular activities. Throughout Phase 3, the school also organises enriching experiences focused on opportunities related to the world of work.
