GCSE OPTIONS  - INTRODUCTION
.
It is important that your son/daughter makes the right choice in their options for G .C.S .E. It is vital that they have a broad, balanced curriculum. 
Pupils are often influenced in their choice of subjects by either;
a) what their friends are opting for 
and/or 
b) their favourite teacher/s

This is not advisable. 
When your child is ready to make their choice of subjects they need to discuss this with you. Always insist that they opt for subjects that they are good at and they enjoy.

All pupils will follow the compulsory core subjects to GCSE level.

COMPULSORY CORE SUBJECTS

1. English Language
2. Mathematics
3. Physical Education
4. French
5. Religious Education
6. Science (Single award)

If their teacher feels that they may struggle to achieve a grade at this level in the core subjects, they will be entered for a "Certificate of Education" level.

When the subject options have been decided, please complete the back page and return the Options Form to the school as soon as possible. Any delay may result in your child not getting their first choice due to limited places on that course.

The following pages give details of the courses that are available at examination level which you should  read carefully before any decision is made.
