Year 9
Year 9 is all about ownership and leadership of self and others. Pupils are nurtured and assisted through a leadership programme to take control of the initial stage of the journey towards success in their GCSE exams.
The Stonar 9

The core subjects of English, Maths, Science, Humanities, Physical Education & Games continue to be offered in Year 9, but pupils benefit from a more focused approach to their studies.
