Options process - year 9

Pupils take their options in year 9 in order to start their qualification courses at the start of year 10. The options process includes several stages and starts in the autumn term with:

- Careers talks in all curriculum areas

- Exploring Careers Wales resources including questionnaires about what careers may suit particular individual preferences

- Pupil consultation about their aspirations for future careers and possible links for qualifications

- Pupil and parents information 

- A 'straw' poll where a large number of qualifications are put out for pupils to indicate their preferences

- Formation of the option blocks

- Parents' evening for year 9 pupils with careers and option information

- Individual interviews with form tutors and pupils to submit options

- Confirmation of options

Further details will be available as we move through the timeline for year 9.
