Choosing options is an exciting time for Year 9 pupils. We hope that the resources on this page will give pupils and parents/carers a good overview of the process and all the information needed to make well-informed choices.

The Options Process 'To Do List':

• Watch the Option Subject Videos below.
• Read the Options Booklet carefully to find out more about each subject including; entry requirements, course information, assessment and further opportunities.
• Think about the subjects you might like to choose - discuss your thoughts with teachers and parents/carers.
