Change to options process 2021-2022

Due to the challenging circumstances presented by COVID 19, we have made the decision to delay the Pathway Process for our current Year 8 students . This means our current Year 8 students will choose their options in Year 9 in order to provide further opportunities to experience possible options subjects.

If you have any questions about the options process, please do not hesitate to contact Mike Williams, Acting Deputy Head: Curriculum, Assessment and Target Setting (Posted October 2021).

Welcome to the Year 8 Pathway Process webpage. This page has been design to be used in conjunction with your pathway booklet. Please watch the video below to find out further information about the pathway process, course combinations, our curriculum offer including our distinct transition year in which personal development and curriculum enrichment are prioritised. Please ensure that your child submits their subject choice by the 12th of February using the Google Form that has been sent to their school email address.

Please watch the subject videos below to find out further information about each subject area to help inform your child ahead of them selecting their combination of courses.

10 minute appointments are available to discuss any queries that you might have regarding the Year 8 pathway process during the Year 8 parents evening. This is not a compulsory part of the process and it’s completely optional.
