Bussiness Studies
This is a three-year, linear assessed course starting from year 9, covering a comprehensive outlook into business from theoretical and practical aspects that contribute to general understanding. Through this course, students will be introduced to the basic concepts, followed by in-depth segments that encompass a business as a whole. Consequently, students will be able to expand on their capabilities and opportunities which they can carry forward onto their future lives.Students will learn about how businesses operate from customers, marketing, management, finance, economics and regulations. This will enable students to explore areas which they find most interesting and decide if they wish to continue their academic education within any of the given areas
English Litreature
The ability to use and evaluate language underpins all aspects of social and personal life. In English Literature we explore, interrogate and manipulate language, which allows us to be critical and confident readers, writers and speakers. Exploring a broad and rich range of texts allows us to examine the human condition, both historically and culturally, as well as in modern society. The study of Literature also develops the emotional literacy, values and perspectives needed to become a well-rounded individual.One of the main aims, in Marathon Science School, is not only to deliver a knowledge-rich curriculum where students are supported and challenged in order to make the best possible progress, but also to foster a lifelong passion for reading, by giving students the opportunity to engage with a wide range of texts. The study of texts is also used to develop writing and literacy skills from the start of KS3, building a strong foundation of skills for further study
History
The KS3 History course should provide students with a chronological knowledge and understanding of the history of Britain and the wider world. Students will develop their knowledge and understanding of continuity and change, and their ability to explain events and developments. They will do this by studying changes in political power, religious developments, and social change. They will follow enquiries to examine the impact of these changes on people’s lives and on the development of the UK. They will also develop their awareness of different ideas and interpretations about the past. They will be able to recognise and then to evaluate, different views of the past based on their knowledge and on the provenance of historical sources.
Geography
At Marathon Science School the Geography department wants to inspire students to develop a lifelong desire to ask questions about the world around us and the part they all have to play in it. They aim to promote respect and to help young people to develop their moral compass. They are keen to develop an understanding of the shared values which unite us all. They seek to foster a sense of wonder as well as to motivate students to investigate a complex and dynamically changing world in order to become global citizens. Studying geography enables students to explore their own place in the world by studying people and places from the past, present and future and at all scales from the personal to the global.

Science
Science has led to the discovery of everything from gravity to medicine. Science is based on curiosity—and when children aim to learn more about the world around them, it is science that often holds the clues they need for a better understanding.Science, directly and indirectly, influences all aspects of everyday life. From the food they eat to the way they get around, science is everywhere. Once you begin to see all the opportunities to learn, the relationship between science and critical-thinking skills become apparent.
