Year 9 Options Evening - Thursday 29th January 2026
FOR CURRENT YEAR 9 PARENTS AND STUDENTS ONLY:
Year 9 students are about to start an important stage of their education journey as, over the next few months, they will be making some choices about which subjects they’d like to continue to study through to the end of Year 11.
See our Y9 Options booklet here.
We launched our options process to our Year 9 students and their parents at our Options Evening on Thursday 29th January. You can see a copy of the presentation which outlined the process here.
Over the next few months, there will be a range of activities which should help students through the decision making process, including PSHEE lessons, assemblies, ‘taster lessons’ and parents’ evening.
