Welcome to the Year 9 options page for courses starting September 2025. This is an important and exciting time for students, as it is one of the first steps on the pathway to GCSE qualifications. This page contains all the information you should need to support your child in making their options choices.

Once your subject choices have been decided the Option Preference Form should be completed online no later than Monday 3rd March 2025. The form will be added to the website in February 2025.
