February is when our Year 9 students start to learn about which subjects they all have to take in Year 10 and 11 (Key Stage 4) called the 'core subjects' and which ones they can opt take from an extensive list, called the 'optional subjects'. Unfortunately we cannot have our traditional face-to-face welcome evening this year but a recorded overview of the whole process from Mrs Watts, Deputy Headteacher, will be available from Monday 8th February. All subject leaders have  recorded a presentation to help you understand what each course involves and how it is assessed (available from Monday 8th February). The Option Booklet is available below and contains all the information you need and all the email addresses for any staff member you might need to contact. The deadline for choices is Friday 5th March 2021 so please enjoy looking at the information provided and discussing it with your child.
