Before entering Key Stage 4, our teachers will support students in deciding their options for 9-10 GCSEs or equivalent qualifications. To help students and parents/carers make these important choices we produce an Options booklet – see the most recent copy here as an example – 2024-26 Options booklet. The booklet gives information about the Options process, advice on what to consider when choosing Options and detailed information on all the subjects on offer.
