BCCS Yr 10 Options
Welcome
Making choices can be difficult and is more challenging if you do not have key information. Over the next few weeks in school we will explore different option choices and give students opportunities to discuss their own personnel pathway. Some students will know what they want to do as a career, but there will be many that still do not have a clear idea. This is OK and we hope that this site will allow students and parents/carers to explore different careers, explain options at Post 16 and provide an opportunity to think carefully about their future, before making their Option choices.
