GCSEs provide a broad general knowledge for each subject which allows you to become increasingly specialised through further study at A Level, degree level and beyond.  \nBabington House students complete nine GCSE subjects, with the possibility of studying a tenth  \nGCSE in Further Maths if selected.  \nWe hope Babington House students will accomplish:  \n• A thirst for learning that is enthusiastic, inquisitive and determined.  \n• Outstanding communication in both written and spoken English.  \n• In-depth mathematical and scientific knowledge and application.  \n• Confidence in self-expression and the ability to make good choices.  \n• Individual distinction through the pursuit of sport, music, drama, and other cultural activities.  \n• Moral, social and spiritual values within our Christian context, and tolerance of the views of others.  \n• Continuous and progressive attainment of knowledge, concepts, skills and attitudes to further facilitate life-long learning.  \nWe will achieve this by:  \n• Providing academic excellence through a rich and exciting curriculum which encourages everyone to succeed and grow.  \n• Promoting positive behaviour for learning and cultivating our school code of conduct – Kindness, Courtesy, Determination, Honesty and Respect.  \n• Delivering outstanding pastoral care for all students.  \n• Enabling students to develop their interests beyond GCSE with a view to further study at A Level.  \nThis booklet will provide you with the information you need to enable you to select your GCSE options, after careful consideration and discussion.  \nThe Year 9 Options Evening is a great opportunity to ask any questions you may have about the subjectson offer and your suitability to take them. Heads of Department will be available to help with any issues you may have at this stage and in the following weeks. Students and families are required to attend this important evening.  \n􀀊 􀀉 􀀂 􀀒 􀀏 􀀏 􀀈 􀀂 􀀒 􀀉 􀀒 􀀊  \n􀀂urri􀀙ulum 􀀌ptions  \nUniversities look for a broad range of subjects at GCSE and are increasingly interested in those students who achieve the highest possible grades, not the highest number of subjects.

Additional subject material for triple science, particularly in Chemistry and Physics, require greater mathematical application.  \nWe recommend that students in set one for science opt for Triple Science and students in set two Combined Science. Students in set two who wish to choose Triple Science and those in set one who wish to choose Combined Science should consult with the Director of Science, Mr Sturt, and the Director of Studies, Ms Wiffen.
