Year 8 Mini Options

We continue with our drive of maximising outcomes for all students. Up to now, your son/ward has been studying a wide range of subjects in Years 7 and 8.

GCSEs bring increased demands and an even sharper focus on core subjects. Therefore, we are going to provide further time in Year 9 for four chosen subjects; the focus will be to develop the knowledge, application, and skills to be highly successful at GCSE and then at post-16 level, if appropriate.

Students will make four selections plus three reserves. Your reserves must not be the same as your previous selections . Please note that these are preferences only and they cannot be guaranteed. In Year 9, the four allocated subjects will have increased lesson time, while the other three subjects will not be studied.

More information will follow in the Summer Term.
