In Year 9 students, along with parents/carers and the academy are able to choose their GCSE options.  All students must choose a humanities option.

Students and their families are actively engaged in the process in order to match their ambitions with the recommendations of the academy.

Choosing Options for Year 10 is an essential part of student's learning journey through high school and it helps them to decide where they go for post 16 study and beyond. 

Our Options booklet will be sent out prior to the Options Evening in February. We encourage all parents and students to come along to our Year 9 Options evening to speak to subject teachers and students currently studying the subjects you may be thinking of choosing.
