Year 9 Options
Year 9 Options Process
The process that is conducted within college to support Year 9 students to make informed decisions about their GCSE Options is outlined in the table below. The process is inclusive, enabling all students to be able to follow the EBacc (English Baccalaureate) route. It is very important students, and their families attend the Options Evening in order to be able to ask specific questions, making sure you are able to knowledgeably support your child/ren make these important choices.
