Year 8 Options

Year 8 Options

We are offering all Year 8 pupils the opportunity to choose an option subject on the timetable that they will follow in Year 9/10.

Option choices include:

French (GCSE)Travel and Tourism (BTEC)C.O.P.E.Information Technology (OCR)Art and Design (BTEC)

This is the first time that such an option choice is available to Year 8s.

 

It means that by the time pupils enter Year 11 they will already have ‘banked’ a GCSE equivalent qualification.

What happens next?

Pupils will receive an information sheet about the subjects they can choose;

Detailed guides will be available from subject teachers;

A Year 8 ‘Option Evening’ will be organised;

Pupils will complete an application form listing their choices;

Pupils will be offered a place on a course.

September 2010…..…..the Year 9 learning journey begins.
