Key Stage 4 Options Choices
Year 9 students are about to start making their option choices for Year 10 and 11. This is an extremely important time for Year 9 students who need to think very carefully about the next two years and their future plans beyond Year 11.
Your future plans could be affected by the decisions made in the next few weeks. Your GCSE results will stay with you for life and will make up the entry requirements for any course you want to do after GCSEs.
Year 9 students - please read the information carefully and discuss the options process with your parents or carers. Remember there is a lot of advice available to you to help you make the right decisions.

- a number of vocational subjects will no longer be eligible for inclusion in the School Performance Tables
