Y9 Options Evening
You are warmly invited to attend our Year 9 Options Evening. This is an opportunity for you and to think about subject choices at Key Stage 4.
Up to the end of Year 9, pupils have had very little choice about what subjects they study. As they prepare to embark on Key Stage 4 they have some important decisions to make; pupils are required to study the core subjects (English, Maths, Science, RE) to GCSE level, but they are able to make some choices with regards to the other subjects.
To assist in making these choices we are holding our Options Evening on Thursday 22nd February from 5pm. There will be two presentations in the Phythian lecture theatre (Sixth Form Centre) which will go over the options process, what choices are available and how to complete the options form. The first presentation is for registration groups 9Baron, 9Beeden, 9Benson, 9Calver and 9Harris/Sandbach at 5pm. The second presentation is for registration groups 9Leak, 9May, 9Newsham/Gregory, 9Otterburn, and 9Parker/Guilliam at 6pm.
Whilst the main presentations are happening in the Phythian lecture theatre, subject staff will be making presentations in other sixth form rooms about their subject areas. The option subjects making presentations are all outlined in the attached Options booklet, a hard copy of which was given to pupils on Friday.
You should consider carefully with which presentations you wish to listen to in advance of the evening. A programme listing the evening’s arrangements will be available on arrival.
