Year 9 have now watched all of the screencasts for their options choices. In January they will be asked to pick provisional choices during form time.
Students must choose one option from each block. One of these should be history, geography, computer science, French or German.
Please discuss these choices with your child over the Christmas break. There will be a chance to talk to curriculum leaders about the subjects on January 26th (6.00pm until 8.00pm). The options screencasts and booklet, along with Frequently Asked Questions are available on the school website in the ‘Learning’ and ‘Guided Choices’ section.
