Launch of Year 9 Options
This time of year students within Year 9 get very excited at the prospect of choosing their GCSE options. This has had the additional challenge this year of not being able to hold the usual Options Evening and then to go through the process with the students in school on the planned Enrichment Day.
A few teething issues ensued as we attempted to give students remote guidance and access to the online system – these challenges were eventually overcome thanks to the dedicated work of the IT team!
Students in Year 9 have until Wednesday 22nd April to make their choices from the very broad range of subjects on offer.
