Being able to make an informed choice about which subjects to opt for at GCSE is key to ensuring every student is able to flourish and succeed in the next step of their learning journey.  

​

The options process will shortly be officially launched to students via our dedicated
2025-27 Options Website which will be available for parents and students. 
The 2025-27 Options Website contains information about the options process, what students are required to undertake, guidance about EBacc and specific details for each subject.  

​

The launch  of the options process will offer students a range of experiences to support their decision making.  These experiences will include:

• An introductory assembly 

• Options Evening 

• One to one interviews with a member of the Senior Leadership Team (individual dates for students)

• 30 minutes taster lessons for all option subjects (students will choose which subjects to trial)

• Optional online meeting for parents with a member of the Senior Leadership Team (individually arranged)

• Online submission for final option choices 

• Additional meetings for SEND students with key staff

​

The deadline for choices to be submitted is 13th February 2025.

Should you require a paper form, this can be requested via office@sta-worthing.com. 

​

Please note that there may be more students opting for a subject than we are able to cater for.  Should this be the case, students with an EHCP and CLA are prioritised.  Similarly, it may be that too few students opt for a subject to make it viable to run.  

​

When students make their choices, they will be asked to select six subjects in total, these are not given any preferential order and students will be allocated four of their six preferences.
