Making Options Choices
All students will need to choose:
-
One subject from the directed curriculum.
-
Three subjects from the options curriculum. You should put these in order of preference. Some students will choose two subjects from the options curriculum and will also have extra numeracy and literacy lesons in Years 10 & 11, to support their GCSE and Level 2 courses.
-
One reserve choice.
Check for subjects that have a combination clash. These are identified in the options booklet.
You will make your choices during your 1-2-1 options meeting. This will take place in February 2026
