Options



Year 9 students have until the end of term to decide on their options for Year 10. Here is a reminder of some of the advice which Mr McCoy gave at the recent assembly.

• Don’t choose a subject just because your friends are choosing it.

• If you are advised to take English or Maths or Science, instead of an Option, it isn’t the end of the world!

Work hard for your exams. IGCSEs are 2 year courses. What you do and learn in September of Year 10 is just as important as what you learn in May of Year 11.

• Not choosing a particular option in Year 10 does not automatically exclude from a specific Bachillerato in Years 12 & 13. This is based on your general academic level, motivation and future University degree ambitions.

• Students should talk to their teachers – you can also come and talk to HODs, subject teachers, tutors etc.

• Choose subjects you think you will enjoy.

Ask your teachers for advice.
