Welcome to the GCSE and A Level Options Website

This website has been created to provide you and your child with the relevant information about the choices available to students in Year 9 for their GCSE options and in Year 11 for their Post 16 Options.

The website has been designed to ensure that the process is rigorous and as helpful as can possibly be, to assist students in making individual choices, that are right for them. We aim to offer guidance that can help parents to sufficiently support their child with these decisions.

We aim to provide each student with a broad and balanced curriculum, which caters for individual needs and aspirations. Our aim is for all students to complete compulsory education at 16 having developed the skills, knowledge and wider understanding that in turn, will have enabled them to develop the capacities, dispositions and attributes described in the four purposes. We strive to make the curriculum meet the needs of all of our students in order for them to foster of a love of learning; showing initiative an resilience and are enthused to become lifelong learners. Our aim is to provide an education that enables our students to develop the qualities and skills that they need to be successful at school and beyond.

In order to ensure that, in making these decisions, you child takes into account their ability, interests and career aspirations, they will be receiving guidance from a range of staff including their Group Tutors, subject teachers and leaders and Careers staff.

The options choice system offers a wide range of choices, drawn from the Communications, Arts, Culture and Wellbeing, Humanities, Languages and Technical and Vocational Faculties,
