*** Year 9 Parents' Evening - Thursday 6 February ***

Introduction

Over the next few weeks, our Year 9 students will be making some crucial decisions about the next phase of their education. Until now, they have all followed exactly the same curriculum but as they start Key Stage 4, they will be involved in choosing for themselves some of the subjects and types of qualification they will study moving forward.

As a school, we are committed to supporting, advising and guiding our students through this Course Choices process, so that they decide upon a broad and balanced curriculum that not only plays to their personal strengths but also provides them with plenty of options in the future. 

This is the first exciting step for many of our students in shaping their own future and we look forward to working with each of them on making the right Key Stage 4 Course Choices for them.

Timeline

Throughout this process, we strongly encourage students to speak to their parents, Form Tutors and subject teachers about their course choices for guidance. Their Head of House, Progress Lead, Named People and myself are also available for further conversations if needed.
