Year 8 Options Process 2025-2026

Starting the options process

Year 8 students are now approaching Straw Poll 1, which takes place on Tuesday 2nd December 2025. This is their first opportunity to practise choosing their options, and will form a significant part of Personal Development Day.

Students will choose one subject from each of the four blocks in the Options Form.

They will choose these via a Microsoft form on Personal Development Day, following another assembly and some guidance from their tutor.

This is only a practise – students can change their mind at any point in the process before they submit their final form on Monday 9th February 2026.
