Options
This year's Year 9 Option Evening will be held on Tuesday 8th February 2022.
Each student will be studying a Core Curriculum which is composed of compulsory subjects. The remainder of the student’s timetable will consist of subjects chosen from the option blocks. These blocks consist of a range of subjects which allow students to gain qualifications at GCSE level.
The curriculum offered to the students is a broad and balanced one, reflecting the requirements of the National Curriculum. To maintain this broad and balanced curriculum, students are expected to choose courses from two categories of options: A and B.
At least one option and a reserve must be chosen from Category A (the Baccalaureate subjects): Computer Science, French, Geography, History and Triple Science.
The remaining option choices may be taken from Category A or B and must be ranked and include a reserve.
