Year 9 Options
During Years 10 and 11 the curriculum becomes more flexible allowing students to tailor their learning experience to better fit their personal needs and interests. The key purpose of learning remains to equip our future adult citizens with the basic skills and knowledge that will be required to succeed in an ever-changing future; a future of lifelong learning and opportunity for which we must all be prepared.
The Year 9 Options process consists of two stages: the first involves an initial survey, through which students can give us an idea of the subjects they are likely to want to study, followed by a second stage through which students select their final choices from a fixed grid.
Students are supported throughout the process and we encourage them to have conversations with their subject teachers and tutor. We will advise when information is updated on this page as we progress through the process.
