# Options Booklets

**Options Booklets**

This term is a significant one for Year 9 pupils as they make their subject choices for next year, marking the start of a very important stage of their education. Decisions around options choices will impact students’ further education opportunities, and we encourage students to consider all the options available and to make choices that will keep their options open for future courses & careers. To support students, we have produced a quick guide to 'Making Good Choices' below.

**Pastoral and SEND Support**

Our experienced Year 9 Form Tutors, Pastoral Support Team and SEND department will be supporting students through the options process and, if needed, guide them to consider appropriate courses. If your child feels they would benefit from extra support or an individual conversation please ask them to speak with their Form Tutor.
