Options

The options process for the current Year 8 is about to begin.  Students will need to choose 4 subjects to study in Key Stage 4 in addition to the compulsory GCSEs of English, Maths and Science.   Students also complete a short course GCSE in RE as well as PSHE and PE courses.

We are no longer able to offer the Extended Project Qualification.  This is because of national changes in recent weeks.  However, we will still be offering the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award in Year 10.  This will be completed (by the students that choose it) as an alternative to some of their Core PE lessons.  You do not need to opt for D of E on the options form because that choice is made at the end of year 9 to begin in Year 10.  If your child was thinking of doing the Extended Project Qualification they will need to opt for something else instead.  

Further details of the options process are in the Options Booklet which you can download below:
