During Year 10 your child will choose the GCSE subjects they want to study. Your support as a parent or guardian is vital in helping them make choices which are right for them to meet their full potential. There is live online presentation on Wednesday 13 March to find out how.
Picking subjects
Your child’s school will advise when they need to make their subject choices and their options.
