Year 8-9 Options Process

The options process is the start of a very important stage in your child’s education. They will be making key decisions about which subjects and courses they wish to study in Years 9, 10 and 11. (Key Stage 4 at ECS). They will also be thinking about their future education and career paths. This is a very exciting stage of your child’s future and, during the Year 8 Options Evening, you will have an opportunity to discuss the GCSE options your child wishes to study with the key members of staff.

Throughout the options process your child will have access to a support network. This includes the support you will give them at home, the Phase Team, including your child’s Progress Leader as well as their subject teachers and form tutor. We also have an in-school Careers Guidance and Development officer, Ms Pastore, and your child can make an appointment to see her. We recommend recommend your child uses this support network to help guide them.
