INTRODUCTION

Thank you for taking the time to read this guide to Year 8. Inside you will find a curriculum guide for each subject taught this year. Year 8 builds upon the work began in Year 7 and looks towards Year 9 when students will be choosing the subjects they wish to take up at GCSE level.  The main difference from Year 7 is that the Transition Model is now taught as three separate subjects; History, Geography and RE.  This will help students decide upon the subjects they will select in Year 9.

Year 8 is an important Year; the transition from primary school is complete and the Year group understand what is expected of them in terms of organisation and homework.  They need to use this as a basis to begin looking towards their Year 9 Options and subsequent GCSEs.

Please contact the Curriculum Leader if you would like more information about any subject.
