Options Information Evening

To help parents and students understand more fully about the options available, we are holding a short open evening from 5.00pm to 7.15pm on Thursday 7th January.  At 5.00pm and 6.45pm there will be presentations in the Hall to explain the options system.  Between 5.00pm and 6.45pm, teachers from each subject area will be available to explain the nature and requirements of their courses and to answer questions.  Parents choosing to attend the 5.00pm presentation will have until 6.45pm to visit subject areas and parents choosing to attend the 6.45pm presentation need to visit subject areas before the talk starts.  Our Careers Advisor will also be available during the evening for anyone wishing to discuss career options and subject choices.

More information will be provided in December, along with a link to sign up to attend the options information evening.
