Making Options Choices

All students have received a letter, identifying their own directed curriculum. This will say how many subjects they need to choose from the directed curriculum and the options curriculum. This has been identified using each students previous  progress and attainment across all subjects.

Students will need to consider which subjects you will choose, ensuring that they fit into the timetable option blocks below.

You need to choose:

  • One or two subjects from the directed curriculum.

  • Two or three subjects from the options curriculum. You should put these in order of preference.

  • One reserve choice. 

Check for subjects that have a combination clash. These are identified in the options booklet.

You will make your choices during your 1-2-1 options meeting. This will take place in March 2024.
