KS4 Options

As pupils move into Key Stage 4, they will begin choosing the subjects they would like to study in Years 10 and 11. The Year 9 Options process is an exciting opportunity for pupils to consider their interests, strengths and future aspirations while building a personalised curriculum that supports their next steps.

Pupils will receive guidance and support from staff throughout the process, enabling them to make informed choices about the subjects that best suit their individual needs, talents and goals. We encourage pupils and families to carefully consider each option and discuss how different subjects can contribute to future education, training and employment pathways.

We currently offer options to give Key Stage 4 pupils more choice in what they study. 

Year 9 pupils are given the following to choose between:
  • GCSE/UAS Spanish or Vocational Studies//WJEC Preparing for Work - Skills Pathway
  • WJEC History Diploma or ASDAN/Photography
  • WJEC Independant Living/BTEC Home Cooking Skills or GCSE Textile Design
Letters are sent home in the Summer Term and discussions/decisions are usually made at the KS3 Parents' Evening at the end of the term.
