Information for Students and Parents – Year 8 Options
As we have not been able to hold an Options Information evening this year, please see the following information.
Please read carefully the letter that has been sent to you from Miss Mitchell about selecting options.
Letter to Parents re.Year 8 Options_March 2020.
Students will have the opportunity to choose four subjects to study from Year 9 through to the end of Year 11. These subjects will go alongside the core curriculum of English, Maths, Science, RE, PE and PSHE. We will need you to complete the form (using the link below) to indicate your choices, and return this to us by Monday 20th April 2020. It is based on students’ option choices that we will plan the timetable and staffing for September 2020 and it is important, therefore, that all forms reach us by the deadline. We have also asked that you chose a reserve option choice because there will be restrictions on the group sizes and the number of groups that we can have which may mean that you will need the reserve choice.

The following are two presentations which, we hope, will be helpful in better understanding the process:
- Options Information for Parents 2020, from Mrs Goode, Assistant Headteacher with responsibility for options;
- Exeter College Course Information Presentation planned by Kerry Balchin, a representative from Exeter College.
We have also prepared the following short booklets with detailed information about each option subject.
