GCSE Options
Moving into Year 10, from Key Stage 3 to Key Stage 4, is an important stage in our students educational career. This is the first time they will have had the opportunity to exercise some choice over their programme of study. Before this, everything they have studied will have been determined for them. Now they will have a chance to select some elements in their programme that are of real interest to them. Having such choices can be both exhilarating and daunting. It is important that students give careful thought to their choices and that they take notice of the advice given.
There are a number of ways in which Year 9 Students will receive advice and information. They will have this booklet that contains an outline of all courses, including the optional ones. There will also be sessions at school, and a careers fair to attend. Mrs Robbins, Mr Lawrence and Year 9 form tutors are also on hand to advise.
It's important that Year 9 students think carefully, talk to people who can help them, read this booklet carefully, and enjoy choosing their option subjects for next year.
