The time has come for our Year 10 students to initially select their GCSE option choices. This is an initial trawl before our option blocks are selected in January.

All Year 10 students have been sent home with an option booklet, a letter for parents and the initial trawl list. Please read this carefully with your child and encourage them to ask lots of questions at home and at school regarding these subjects and potential careers options.

This should be returned to your child’s form teacher by Tuesday 17th December.
