Introduction

The time has come for Year 9 to start to make one of the most important decisions they will make during their time at KAA: GCSE Options choices. The purpose of this page is to give an overview for parents of how students will be choosing their GCSE subjects.

Options Assemblies & Reflection Booklet

All of our Heads of Department have created a virtual assembly in place of the usual options assemblies Year 9 students would usually have in the Spring term. These can be viewed on the student portal options page or below.

Students have been asked to watch one of these each week during their tutor / catch-up session on Mondays. Students have been set a GCSE options reflection booklet to complete in their tutor group Google Classroom alongside viewing the assemblies – you can download and view a copy here: GCSE Options Personal Reflection Booklet
