Choosing your options
Students are strongly advised to consider subject choices and to plan future course pathways carefully. Students should consult learning coaches, subject teachers, their Dean and the careers adviser before making their final decisions. Students are advised to follow a broad based general course of study for as long as possible. Online options forms are below.
Advice on all courses is available from the respective Curriculum Leaders (CL). This Pathways and Programme Guide gives details of those courses.
Our belief is that our students should have every opportunity to study in virtually every learning area available.
We are able to offer a number of opportunities to students to complete courses that we are not able to offer in our school. These may be courses for mainstream school subjects that are not available for the student here, special interest courses, specialist or advanced courses and vocational courses.
We will consider supporting students in courses offered by outside providers if a learning need is identified and if the course offers further qualifications for our students. Often, these courses enable our students to further some of their vocational and learning pathways.
