Year 9 Options 2024

The options process is an important part of Year 9. What you choose now, you will study for a further 2 years so you need to ensure you make considered and appropriate choices. Your options should be taken in conjunction with your parents and teachers to make sure you choose wisely. Considerations that you need to discuss together are possible future career paths, subjects you are good at and subjects you enjoy,

You should not choose a subject simply because your friends are doing it as they may choose/like things that are not appropriate for you. Also, don't base your choices on whether you like/dislike a teacher. There is no guarantee that the same teacher will be teaching you again next year.

The first video below gives you further information about the process and how you should go about choosing your options.
