Welcome to the Year 9 Options Information Site
You will find information videos and documents for each of the compulsory and optional subjects we offer. Optional subjects have been placed into 3 blocks, with pupils picking 1 subject from each block. The options blocks are shown below, with links to pages with the information for each subject. Please browse the range of subjects available and watch the videos before making any decisions.
When your child has made their decisions they will need to complete the options form. This has also been emailed to each pupil.
Teachers will be available in the rooms highlighted next to each subject during the Options Event on Thursday 5th March 2026 between 4:30pm and 6:30pm.
