Options

Dear parents/carers,

Many thanks to those who joined us for our Virtual Year 8 Parent/Carer Options Information Evening. It was great to speak with so many of you and begin the exciting process of helping your youngsters decide the Options subjects they would like to study over the next three years.

Please find below  a link to a digital copy of the presentation from the evening, as well as a digital copy of the Options Booklet, which outlines all of the subjects on offer. Each Year 8 pupil will also receive a paper copy of the Options Booklet.
