Welcome to the Year 9 options section of our website. 

Over the next few weeks, Year 9 students will be deciding which subjects to study in Years 10 and 11. Some subjects you have to carry on studying (these are known as the core subjects); others are optional.  This section of the website gives information about the Key Stage 4 curriculum, which you will start in September. The good news is, you have some choice in the subjects you will be studying! It is important that the subjects you and your parents/carers choose are the right ones for you — the ones you will be happy and successful doing. We hope that the information on these pages will support you in making these choices. 

Other pages on this section of the website include:-

• Year 9 Options Booklet 2026 – detailed information about subjects you will study during Years 10 and 11.
• Helpful advice when choosing your options, including details of useful websites and frequently asked questions
• Key reminders when choosing your options

The option choice form will be issued on Wednesday 11^th March 2026, with the deadline for returning this form Monday 16th March 2026.  This is to allow you a few days extra after the taster lessons in Business, Drama and Sociology to make your decisions.

Good luck with choosing your options Year 9!
