Year 9 Options

Hello and welcome to the Year 9 Options page, where you will find all of the information that you need to help you make the decisions on what you will be studying in year 10 and 11, ready for your GCSEs.

On Monday 8th March we held our Virtual Options Evening via video link. Students were given lots of information by our Principal, Mr O’Connell and our deputy head Mrs Atkinson about key dates during the process, core subjects, pathways, and how to make your firm choices.

The video from Options evening can be found here:
