Guided Choices

In year 8, students will be asked to:
• Choose either History or Geography as their Humanities subject.
• Indicate one preferred GCSE option subject from the Core Academic Pathway offer.

Before making your choice, read the provided booklet and watch the videos below created by the subject teachers, explaining the content and structure of the GCSE. 

The booklet contains important information about the curriculum students will follow in Year 9, including the choices they will need to make and the subjects available to them.

These videos will give an overview of each subject and help students understand what studying that subject involves. Please take some time to read through the booklet with your child and watch the subject information videos together.
