The following GCSE subjects are compulsory at NDHS:
As Notre Dame is committed to languages, you will continue to study your current language, French or Spanish, at GCSE. You will select your current foreign language in your MFL Preference Block
You may wish to be considered eligible to study a GCSE in Japanese. Your application will be based on your achievement in French or Spanish by the end of Y9and your overall attitude to learning and progress in other subjects.
If you wish to study second foreign language you will see them listed in Preference Block 1 and 2.
You can choose two preference subjects. You do this by selection one subject from Block 1 and one subject from Block 2. Also need to select a reserve preference for each Block.
Researching different jobs can be rather overwhelming. It helps if you've got a simple way to start looking. Here are some different options with useful links.
