How the process works

The Year 9 option process for September 2025 is due to begin in January 2026.

From February 2026 Year 9 students will have a number of presentations in the school to give them a taste of what each of the subject choices involve. This will be followed up with:

Careers interviews for all of Year 9 (February 2026) – to support our students to make option choices that support their future career aspirations

Parents and Options Evening (4 March 2025) – where the prospectus will be given out and parents and students will have an opportunity to find out about their progress in lessons and find out more about option choices

Student Option Interviews (5 March 2025- onwards) – Students will be interviewed by a member of the Y9 options team and supported in making their choices should they require it

The final deadline for submission of option forms will be the 27 March 2025.
