Year 9 & KS4 Curriculum
Studying in Years 9, 10 and Year 11 at UTC Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park is different from a traditional secondary school. Learning is related to the world of work so that students can better understand the relevance of what they are learning.
Year 9
In Year 9, our students complete Key Stage 3 whilst also focusing on early skills development within specialisms.
Key Stage 4
At Key Stage 4 our students study a combination of core GCSE subjects alongside optional GCSE and technical qualifications for specialist pathways in Computing, Health Sciences & Social Care and Sport Science.
