KS4 Options

This area of the website has been updated for the 2025/26 options process, for KS4 courses beginning in September 2026. Please use the menu to the left or above to find out more about the process and to access information about the courses available.

Virtual Options Evening

The following videos explain the principles behind our curriculum for Years 9, 10 and 11, and guide you through the options process.

Video 5 will be uploaded shortly

 

You can find out about option courses offered through this website. Further queries can be answered at the in-school parents evening on 22nd January or by contacting the Year 8 Pastoral Team office. The parents evening will enable you to discuss your child's progress with subject teachers and their suitability for different courses offered. Details about how to make appointments will be emailed to parents.

 

Further information around careers can be found through Unifrog. Students have their own login to this excellent platform. A brief powerpoint presentation linking careers to option subjects can be found via the link on the left menu.
