Year 9 Options Evening 2026
Year 9 Options Evening, takes place on Thursday 12th March 2026 at 18:00 in the School Hall.
This is a compulsory event for all Year 9 students and their parents/carers, as the options process will determine the subjects your child will study at Key Stage 4. The evening is a crucial opportunity for both students and families to gain a clear understanding of the process and the wide range of courses available.
The evening will provide:
- A detailed explanation of the options process and key deadlines
- Information about new vocational qualifications on offer
- An opportunity to explore subjects not studied at Key Stage 3
- Time to speak directly with Heads of Department, subject leads, and students currently studying the courses
- Guidance from Further Education providers to help inform future pathways
The first part of the evening will consist of a presentation outlining the options process and introducing the new vocational courses available. This will be followed by a marketplace-style event, where you and your child can visit subject areas, ask questions, and discuss course content and expectations with staff and students. It is essential that students and parents have as much information as possible to make informed and appropriate choices about future pathways.
