Y9 Options
Welcome to the Year 9 Options page. This is an exciting time for you as a Year 9 student as, during the next few weeks, you will be choosing the courses that you will be following in Year 10 and 11.
Our KS4 curriculum is varied and is designed to provide a range of courses to enable you to tailor your programme of study to your strengths, interests and future aspirations.
Choosing your courses can be daunting and so the information on this page is here to help you make informed choices. It is important that you, your teachers and your parents/carers work together to ensure that you choose the most appropriate options for your future.
