Preparing for GCSEs
Year 9 Options

As your child is coming towards the end of Year 9 it is time to start thinking about what they may like to study towards GCSE in Years 10 and 11.

Some subjects, English, Maths, Science, Welsh, The Skills Challenge Certificate (SCC) and Agored are compulsory for all pupils. Pupils also have a compulsory two lessons of Core PE each week.

Please see the Moving Forwards Booklet for details of the courses pupils can choose in Year 10 and 11. We are holding the Moving Forwards Evening at school on January 13th 2026 at 5.30PM where you can find out more information about the options process and discuss different options with the subject teachers.

If you have any general queries please do not hesitate to contact Ms S Dinsdale (Head of Year 9).
