Year 9 Options 2021-22

Click here to be taken to the Options Form

Making curriculum choices in Year 9 is an especially important process at Harris Academy St. John's Wood.  It is an opportunity for you and your child to take increased control of the education choice on offer to them.

The options chosen for Years 10 and 11 will influence how your child experiences their time at the Academy over the next two years, in addition to their post-16 decisions and further study.  The option subjects chosen will be studied alongside the core curriculum of English, Maths, Science, MFL, Core PE and PSHE.

To support the decision process, your child has received careers sessions and tutor time sessions devoted to the discussion of the options subjects, the options process and post-16 pathways that their choices can support. It is vital that subjects are chosen for the correct reason.

Guidance

Click HERE to download the Options Booklet 2022, which explains in more detail our curriculum - both the core subjects that students must study and the options they can make. The choice of options is a very important decision and should be made with a responsible adult.
