Choosing your Year 9 options is an exciting step in your school journey. This is your chance to think about the subjects you enjoy, the skills you want to build, and the pathways that interest you for the future.

Our options process is designed to help you make informed choices. You’ll find clear information about each subject, what you will study, and how it is assessed. We also explain how different subjects link to future courses, careers, and opportunities.

We encourage students and families to read through the guidance, talk to teachers, and think carefully about strengths, interests, and long‑term goals. Our aim is to support every student in choosing a balanced set of subjects that keeps doors open and helps them succeed.
