Year 9 Options

Welcome to our Year 9 Options page.

Dear Parents and Carers your child took home their Option Booklet and a covering letter w/c 12^th December. Please read and discuss this with your child ahead of the parents evening on 19^th January 2023. 

The booklet outlines the targeted KS4 pathway and relevant information for your child to read and discuss at home. The details provided will help your child to select the best choice of GCSE or vocational qualifications for their future, they will then go on to study these in years 10 and 11. It is vital that their choice reflects breadth and balance and provides them with success, enjoyment and a range of opportunities for next steps after completing the course in Year 11.

The booklet contains: key terminology about qualifications offered, an explanation of the grading system for qualifications, a summary of each course offered, your child’s option form for your child to complete their choices. You will need to discuss this, agree the choices and return the signed form to student reception no later than 6th February 2023.
