Year 9 marks the transition from Key Stage 3 to Key Stage 4 for each student.
At KS4 students study an examined statutory Core Curriculum of Mathematics, English, Science, Welsh and Philosophy.
The Options Curriculum makes up 32% of each student's timetable.
The Core and Option curricula are externally examined throughout the key stage, terminating with a GCSE or equivalent graded outcome for each learner.
Which subjects each student opts for needs to be a considered and informed choice.
Please see the power-point to introduce you to the options process
