Options Booklet
Some points for you and your child to consider when deciding on preferred subjects for KS4 are as follows:
- All examinations for GCSE will be taken at the end of the course – in the summer of Year 11. All students taking Religious Study GCSE will sit at the end of Year 10.
- BTEC/Cam Techs are assessed through a mixture of coursework and examinations. The examinations are not necessarily at the end of Year 11 and could be at any point through the two year course.
