GCSE Options
Your guide to choosing your GCSE Subjects
Introduction to GCSE Options
Welcome to our GCSE Options website. You'll find lots of useful information about the courses we have to offer.
Selecting your options
You'll need to choose your options using our online options selector tool.
You will receive an email from us with a link a few days after this website has gone live. Your tutor will let you know when this has happened so you don't miss it.
Watch this video as it explains how you need to select your options.
Remember:
You must study either History or Geography. You can study both but you'll need to use up a free choice slot if you want to do this.
You must study the language you are currently studying.
This means if you study French in year 8, you will study French at GCSE. You can study both languages but you'll need to use up a free choice slot if you want to do this.
If you have been identified by your teachers as needing additional support in English you will not need to study a language. Instead, you will develop your deep learning competency skills by joining our '2030 ready' Global Media and Communication course.
You are not allowed to study both Textiles and Art. They are too similar so please do not try to choose these two subjects. You can choose one or the other, just not both.
You are not allowed to study both Construction and Engineering. Due to timetable constraints, these two subjects can not be taken together.
