In Group 6 -The Arts, you can opt out of these subjects and instead choose an extra language, humanity or science. Below you will find the subjects offered at Rochester Grammar School.
As part of the IB Diploma, all students study Theory of Knowledge (ToK), a critical thinking course, and complete an Extended Essay into a topic of their own interest. As an IB student you are also encouraged to engage with your wider community through the Creativity, Activity, Service programme. You can find further detail about each course offered in the curriculum pages.
Our sixth form programme fully meets the 16 to 19 study programme requirements by ensuring the students have a breadth and depth of study and provides students with a structured and challenging learning programme that supports their development and progression in line with their career plans. To this end we provide opportunities for students to gain real experience and knowledge of the workplace, through, for example, speakers, work experience and workshops, in order to enhance their employability skills; substantial qualifications through their study of 6 subjects, which stretch students and prepare them for education at the next level or for employment, and many opportunities through their study of CAS to develop students’ character, broader skills, attitudes and confidence, and to support progression.
