GCSE OPTIONS

MAKING CHOICES

We are concerned that these decisions are made with the involvement of all concerned. We will be explaining the options and providing guidance to you during the next few weeks.

Your parents will receive a letter explaining the process and will have an opportunity to discuss matters at the Parents’ Evening on Thursday 19 March, at which careers advice will also be available.

You are required to return your option choice form by Thursday 26 March. Forms should be returned to the school office. All forms returned by this date will be treated equally and there is no advantage in handing them in early. There is much to be gained by considering your options carefully and making the right choices.

If you require any further help or information, please speak to your Tutor, your Head of Year, The Head of Careers or Mr Sebire (Deputy Head).

In making option choices, think carefully about the following points:

1. choose subjects which take account of your abilities, interests, enjoyment and commitment.

2. choose subjects which keep your options open at later stages, ie. when choosing Sixth Form courses or a career. Careers guidance is available to you from The Head of Careers, and information about A Levels from the Sixth Form Management team.

3. talk with people before you make a decision. Good sources of information are your subject teachers, tutors, and the students in Years 10 and 11 currently taking the courses. Make sure you discuss your choices with your parents.
