Year 8 had an assembly introducing and explaining the Options Process. We understand that there is a lot of information to take in. All the key messages and information are also contained in the Options Booklet below. It also contains an overview of the Key Stage 4 curriculum, the Options Process and details about all subjects. Students have also been given a hard copy to bring home for ease of reference. Please read this carefully as it will provide insight into the components of each specification before choices are made.

We ask that you and your daughter carefully consider these choices and select subjects that are balanced and meet her strengths and aspirations. We will endeavour to meet the choices of each individual student, but unfortunately, this cannot always be guaranteed. The viability of any course is dependent upon the number of students who select it and the staffing available to us.

The next key date in the process is the Options Evening for Year 8 parents, carers and students, on Thursday 24th April from 5.30 pm to 7.30 pm. At this event, there will be a presentation explaining the Options Process, which will take place at the start of the evening and will be repeated at 7.00 pm, so you can be flexible about your arrival time. The evening will also allow you to meet and hear from the leaders of the option subjects. The online Options Form will be available on Friday 25th April.
