Year 9 Options 2026 - 2028

Our Options process for 2026 - 2028 began in early March. Parents/Carers will have received a letter outlining the process in late January. There was also an introduction video posted on this page. Copies of both of these can be found later on this page.

On the 5th March 2026, Year 9 students had an Introduction Assembly outlining how the Options process works for them. In the following week, beginning the 9th March 2026, we held a taster week, where Options subjects gave students a taste of what a GCSE lesson would look like in their subject. 

On Wednesday, 18th March 2026 we held our annual Options Evening and Options Fair where students and parents/carers were given more information about the Options process and were able to visit subject area displays to ask questions.

Please click here for a copy of the slides from the evening.
