The content of this page is to provide pupils and parents with relevant information to support making informed choices when choosing courses to study in the next phase of their pathway.
This flow chart highlights key stages in the process for making choices going into S3 for session 2025-26.
Use our Course Choice Booklet to find out more about the expectations and opportunities available for S3 students at Forres Academy.
Please note - while we will endeavour to give all young people their first choices across all Curricular Areas, this may not always be possible for a number of reasons. If pupils cannot get all their preferred choices across Curricular Areas we will look, where possible, to accommodate the identified back-up choices identified when completing the choices form.
In addition, there may be courses in the Course Choice Information booklet which are no longer being offered due to a range of factors.
Pupils will be issued with paper copies of the course choice form in PSE w/b 5th January 2026. Forms should be completed and returned to their PT Guidance by Fri 23rd January 2026.
