Year 9 options
Welcome, within this section you’ll find all the information you need to help guide you and your child in making the right decisions for their year 9 options.
So far, in Key Stage 3 students have followed the National Curriculum and, in most cases, studied all subjects. In year 9, students are able to make some important choices about what they would like to continue studying through to GCSE in Years 10 and 11.
There are some subjects, which will be continued to be studied, as they are required by The National Curriculum and ensure that the curriculum remains broad and balanced. Students will then have the opportunity to select some subjects that they wish to study and as a result, will no longer continue with some other subjects. Students and their parents/carers, will decide which choices to make, so it is important to talk through this together.
Students are guided through this process, supported in making the right choices, which enables them to have success and enjoy their learning.
Please watch the first ‘welcome’ video from Mrs Moat which explains the options process, after which the subject videos are listed separately, you can choose to watch just those that interest you or all of them:
