We are pleased to let you know that the Year 9 GCSE Options process is underway and we would like to invite you to an Options Evening to give you the opportunity to find out more about the process and the subjects we offer.  

Year 9 Options Evening will take place on Thursday 23 March, doors will open at 5.45pm and a welcome speech will take place at 6pm. You will then have the opportunity to walk around the school to visit subject areas. The evening will finish at 8pm. 

Each options subject will give a short talk on the evening about their subject however you are welcome to visit the subject at any point in the night. In addition to this, our core subject leaders from English, Maths, Science and Religious Studies will be available to answer any questions you may have about GCSEs in their subjects.

Our SENDCo, Careers Lead and Head of Year 12 will also be on hand to give any additional advice or support about future pathways. 

Our options presentations are now available to view on the website: Year 9 Options Presentations.   Please take some time to look at these with your child. It is important that students choose subjects they feel passionate about and have an interest in to ensure they are as successful as possible in that subject at GCSE.  

After the Options Evening, you will be sent instructions as to how to use our Options Online system in order to make the GCSE Options selections.  

The event will be ticketed and you can book your tickets at the following link: Year 9 Options 2023 - Tickets.  Please note that the ticket booking line closes on 17 March 2023.

We look forward to seeing you on Thursday 23 March and thank you in advance for your support to the school and your children at this important time in their education journey. 

Yours faithfully
