Welcome to the Year 9 options information.
The next two years are very important in a student’s education.
They will study the core subjects of English Language, English Literature, Mathematics, Combined Science and History or Geography. In addition to these core subjects, they will study PSHE and have lessons in practical PE. They will then make two option choices from a range of subjects. The courses they choose will run for two years, spanning Years 10 and 11 and will culminate in formal, external examinations. Some courses will supplement examination performance with Non-Examined Assessments (coursework).
Please click here to read the Shrewsbury Academy Options Booklet, where you will find more detail about the process.
It is vital that students choose wisely so that they are following courses that not only interest them, but also match their academic and vocational abilities and ambitions. In the spring term of Year 9, we will support students to consider their KS4 options carefully, through subject specific presentations and guidance. There will be an Options Evening for both parents and students, where all parties will be able to look at all the subjects on offer, chat to teaching staff and current KS4 students and get bespoke guidance from form tutors and senior leaders.
