As our young people grow and mature, they are able to make more decisions about the subjects they wish to study.
- As students move from year 8 into year 9, they continue to study a broad core curriculum, supplemented by two options.
- Then as they move from year 9 into 10, our students make choices about their Key Stage 4 options.
At this important juncture we are keen to help our young people to make informed decisions. To this end, we invite students and their parent/carers to an Options Information Event – please see the sections below for more information.
