Year 9 EBACC

Welcome to the Year 9 EBACC page

Here at Park High school there are three pathways that students can follow for their GCSE studies.   This page details the EBACC pathway for which your child has been chosen to ensure they thrive and succeed in their GCSE subjects. 

The Ebacc pathway is a suggested pathway based on the students’ performance in French. This pathway leads to the “Ebacc” qualification which includes Maths, English, Science, Geography or History and a language. These students will need to select either Geography or History to study in Year 10 and 11. A large proportion of students will follow this pathway.  All students will continue to undertake a Religious Education GCSE qualification in Year 10.
