The Options Form

This is where the final choices are made.

In any timetable it is not possible to run every possible combination of four choices. We have analysed the early straw poll and current school timetable to produce the following option blocks* that maximise the chances of students being able to choose their first choice in each of their four options.

Please also note that at this stage, it is not guaranteed that all courses will run. A minimum number of students will need to opt for a course to make it viable. Also some popular courses may become oversubscribed.

With the above points in mind, it is important that students select a different reserve choice for each of their main choices.

*it is possible, but unlikely, that the option blocks may change as the timetabling process develops

The Option Blocks

Students must choose a first choice and a reserve choice from each of the four blocks below. Remember at least one of the four first choices must be a starred Subject. More than one of these may be chosen. Every effort will be made to give students their first choices.

The deadline for completion of the Options Form will be Tuesday 23 May 2023.
