Step 1: Students will receive assemblies (Covid may require these to be online) regarding Options and Careers over the first weeks of February.

Step 2: The options process will be launched through assembly and students/parents signposted to this website.  Students and Parents should start to review subject on offer.

Step 3: Students should use careers advice in lessons  to inform them around how subjects link to possible careers and qualifications.

Step 4: Students and parents will be invited to the online Year 9 Subject/Parents Evening allowing parents to receive feedback on their child’s learning.  This information can be crucial when making subject choices.  This year this is on the 2nd of February.
