Years 10 & 11
Moving into Year 10 is an exciting time for the girls at Upton Hall School. Pupils in years 10 and 11 have the opportunity to follow their academic interests to a higher level and will have the chance to become more independent learners.
All of our year 10 and 11 pupils follow courses in Mathematics, English Language and Literature and triple award Science. In addition, all of our pupils can opt to take one or two Humanities subjects, in History and/or Geography. They will also pursue a language that they have previously studied. Many of our pupils opt for 2 languages. Those who wish to follow a more creative path can take, Art, Music, Drama, Computer Science or Design Technology.
This broad range of subjects gives them a rich academic experience and a range of key skills which will stand them in excellent stead for whatever plans they may have for the future.
