We are embarking on a new system for course choices, which should prove to be more efficient and robust. Timetabling over 800 pupils choices is a complicated process but with the use of OPTIONS software and a well-planned process, the school hope to achieve as high a rate of pupil satisfaction as possible. For those who are not able to get everything we want we also have a built in reserve system and pupils will be kept informed of any changes to their course choices throughout the process.

When coursing, pupils will login to a course choice booking system with the support of their Pupil Support Leader. This is password protected and will only be available once the class has been suitably prepared to make their course choices. All pupils will complete their course choices between the end of January and early March. Specific dates are included in the guides and on the course choice sheets.

We have developed a COURSE CHOICE GUIDE for each year group, which explains the process in three stages: pre-coursing, course choices and post-coursing. Each guide is for a specific year group and will explain some of the nuances of the course choices process in an easy to understand format.
