In Year 9 students are supported to select courses for two afternoons per week. This allows them to follow an even more personalised curriculum where they have chosen areas which interest them. There is a diverse range to choose from with something for everyone. On a third afternoon, they work towards an Asdan Personal development suite, using a flexible range of short course modules, designed to bring them into contact with a variety of subjects of the three years of KS4 eg humanities and enterprise which can be credited against a nationally recognised qualification.

Fosse Way School offers a choice of options at KS4, aimed at personalising the individual learning experience for each student. Both pathways cover all areas of The Foundation Learning Tier. Decisions regarding the final choice of pathway for each student are arrived at through consultations involving the student, parents and school staff.
