It can be difficult to make course choices, so during March we run a number of events and activities to support our Year 9 students as they select their Options. The Options choosen for Key Stage 4 will affect how students spend their time at the Academy, working towards GCSE's and other qualifications. Decisions may influence the courses they go on to study at Sixth Form. It is important to choose Options that will interest and motivate them to achieve the best results.

The combination of subjects you can choose is indicated by the set you are in. For reference we have provided the series of Options Booklets here. Flip through the pages subject by subject with details of what the subject includes, who may enjoy it and potential careers it could lead to. Plus details on how you are assessed:
