What happens next?
Electronic Options Form:
An electronic options form will be available for completion by your child from Thursday 1st May.
This will be via their Year 9 Form Group on Google classroom and the school website.
Please use this website when completing the Form in which you are asked to indicate a Preferred Choice and Reserve.
Once the Options Form has been completed it should be submitted via Google classroom no later than Wednesday 14th May.
The forms will then be collated and if there are any concerns surrounding the wisdom of a child's selection we always discuss the matter with parents/carers.
While our aim is to ensure all pupils can take their first choice subjects it is inevitable that in some cases this may not be possible. A course may not be run if it attracts too few pupils to make it viable. It may be that a course is oversubscribed making it necessary to identify the pupils most likely to gain the most benefit from following it. In these circumstances pupils' second preferences may have to be examined and contact made between us. Where a second preference has not been indicated it may be necessary to have a phone call to discuss the options further.
As always we shall strive to ensure that everyone is as happy as possible with the final outcome. When the process is complete, parents/carers and pupils will be formally notified of their child's courses for Key Stage 4.
We would like to stress how important it is to contact Mrs Hesketh, Mrs Griffiths, or Mr Riddell if you have need of further clarification on any point.
