Welcome
On this page you will find resources to support your child in making their option choices for Key Stage 4, making option choices is an important time for all Year 9 students and we want to provide all students with the information they need to make informed choices.
All students will be informed about their curriculum pathway allocations during the week beginning Monday 23rd January. Please watch the Introducing Year 9 Options video to find out more about what the different curriculum pathways mean.
I would appreciate Parents/Carers and Year 9 students taking the time to discuss option choices and I would also encourage you to review the resources on this page including reading the Options Booklet.
