Parental Engagement Evening, 23rd March 2023: Year 9 Options

Your child will shortly be choosing their GCSE ‘option subjects’ in preparation for their start to GCSE studies in Year 10. To ensure students are fully prepared for this important phase in their education, we have a provided our Year 9 students with a substantial programme of support, advice and guidance. This programme has included individual, one to one careers meetings, our Year 9 progress evening, and a taster afternoon where students sample the GCSE subjects they have indicated an interest in studying.
As part of this programme of support advice and guidance, we welcome you to attend our Parental Engagement Evening on 23rd March, 4.00pm. The evening will be an opportunity to:

  • see how the options process works;
  • ask any questions you may have about the options process;
  • speak to the staff who will be delivering GCSE option subjects;
  • guidance is available if required
  • see examples of what studying that option subject looks like in terms of student work, assessment and enrichment, and
  • have first and exclusive access to our online options form so your child can choose their subjects during the evening if they wish to.

We look forward to seeing you on the 23rd March at 4.00pm.
