Year 9 Options 2022-24
Dear Year 9 student,
This page is designed to complement your options booklet and together they will guide you through one of the most important education choices you have ever had to make.
Choosing your Key Stage 4 programme of study is an exciting opportunity for you to reflect on what your curriculum strengths and interests are, as well as the career path you might wish to follow later in life. It is a chance to tailor a package of subjects and courses that you will enjoy and experience success in and that will provide you with a strong base from which to launch into the next phase of your education.
Read your options booklet very carefully, watch the subject presentations (links are listed below) that you have watched with your tutor as these contain vital information about each of the courses. Additionally you should use the useful links listed below to help you make you option choices. If you are confused about which subjects are compulsory and which are optional, or which combinations of option choices are allowed, do ask a teacher, Mr G Horn or myself for guidance.
I wish you every success with your decision-making
K Cumming
Assistant Head
