Year 9 into 10 Options 2023

Throughout the first three years of their secondary education, your child has received a broad and balanced curriculum following the National Curriculum guidelines. It is now time to prepare for new courses in Years 10 and 11 which will lead to Level 2 qualifications and public examinations in GCSE and equivalent courses. All students will follow a core curriculum comprised of English Language, English Literature, Mathematics, Science, PE and Personal Development. The majority will also continue with a Modern Foreign Language.

All the information below provides details of the optional subjects available to our students in Years 10 and 11 together with the options process and timescale for choices to be made. We want each student to choose wisely having considered his or her own interests, future pathways and aptitudes and hope that parents/carers will be able to support their children in making these important educational decisions.
