Options 2025
Students will pick their Options in the spring term of Year 9. Each year, the options offered vary slightly and, information for their specific year group will be provided once the process starts.
Below is the GCSE Options booklet that has been issued for students choosing options in 2025.

If your child is currently in Y9, please do look through the booklet in order to inform discussions around what subjects and courses your child would like to study.
All students are offered an individual appointment with a member of the leadership team to guide them through the Options process. These meetings generally take place before the Easter break.
Students will continue to study the core offer of English Language, English Literature, mathematics, science and core PE, alongside the language they currently study. They then choose between history or geography (or they can choose both). Students will then have a free choice of two additional subjects from a full list of option subjects.
A small number of students in year 9 will follow our bespoke pathway, which supports the transition between ks3 and ks4. These families will be invited in for a one to one meeting with the leadership team to talk them through the process.
Information for students on this pathway can be found here:

In addition we are holding an Options Evening on Wednesday 5th March 2025 5.30pm till 6.30pm. Staff will also be available to discuss and record options choices during options evening. We very much hope you can attend.
