Here is the timeline of activities to help you make this important decision:

Assembly in school to explain the process to students.

Tuesday 17 January

Options evening, in-school. 5.00-7.00pm

Options forms issued to students via form tutors

Monday 23 January onwards

Teachers will take time out of lessons to talk about the option subjects available in their area and to allow students to ask questions.

Friday 27 January

Wednesday 8  February

Once all the choices are made we then start the process of timetabling for next year and we write to every student during the Summer term to confirm their courses.  If we are unable to fulfil a student's top three options, we will always speak to them in person. 

If you have any concerns please contact Mr Rhodes, Head of Year 9
