How the process works

The Year 9 option process for September 2023 is due to begin in January 2023.

From the week beginning 23/01/23, students, parents and carers of Year 9 pupils will be able to view a series of on-line subject presentations on the school website which should give a taste of what each of the subject choices involve. This will be followed up with our prospectus, live chat events and an Open Evening on 01/03/23 where there will be an opportunity for students and parents to discuss subject progress, and ask any questions about potential Key Stage 4 option choices for September 2023. There will be an additional virtual parent drop in forĀ  any questions about options or for advice about subject combinations on the 22/3/23.

The final part of the options process is always an interview between senior pastoral staff and the students where the option choices will be discussed and forms filled in. These interviews will take place during the week beginning 6/3/2023 and there will be an opportunity for parents to attend these meetings with their child should they wish. The final deadline for submission of option forms will be the 31/03/23.
