At St. Joseph’s we have a wide and varied spectrum of curriculum with established and excellent staff, which provides students the choice to choose between – and mix between – traditional A Levels and vocational BTECS. We also have our own hair and beauty salon to offer students a VTCT level 3 course.
Students predominantly select 3 options from the option blocks below. Some students take 4 options, however this is a challenging route which we only recommend for the most able.
| Option Block A | Option Block B | Option Block C | Option Block D | Other | |
| Art | BTEC Engineering | Biology | Biology | PSHE | |
| Chemistry | English Language | History | Health and Social Care Double | Enrichment | |
