We will then look at which courses have enough pupil interest to go ahead, and how many classes for each subject can run.
*If a course is not viable due to very low interest from pupils, then we will notify pupils and update their preferences.
From this information, we will then allocate the subjects to option blocks, and we do our best to optimise the pupils into their 5 ranked preferences.
When this has been completed, we will notify you as soon as possible in the summer term, as to which final 3 options have been allocated. Any issues can then be discussed and resolved prior to the summer holidays.
*Changes from the start of Year 10 will be in exceptional circumstances only.
