Key Stage 4 Option Choices

Year 9 Transition into Key Stage 4

Year 9 Options Evening Thursday 6 February

Please see the document below for information on timings for each House group and parking on site:

Making your option choices is the first step in your Key Stage 4 journey. To make sure this transition goes smoothly, all students should ask themselves: “What do I want to do after Year 11?”

This question needs careful thought when selecting subjects to study at Key Stage 4.

First and foremost, you should select subjects you find interesting and enjoyable. You should also consider those subjects where you feel you have good ability and have achieved the best marks in your Year 9 assessed work. Also, if you do have some idea about your future career, you should check that your chosen subjects support your plans.

To help you make your choices, information about each subject can be found in the booklet below:

Options Booklet 2025

The Options booklet provides information about the Key Stage 4 courses available to your child, the subject content that will be covered and how each subject will be assessed.

Subject specific videos for each of our GCSE and BTEC options can be found below. These videos feature our staff explaining important information about their subject at Key Stage 4.

All option choices will be completed online via Edval Choice for each student and the deadline for submission is Friday 14 February 2025.

Individual student WebCodes will be distributed on Thursday 6 February, and a copy will also be emailed to student College email addresses
