Year 9

My name is Mr. S.Williams and I am currently the Head of Year 9. 

Year 9 is a very important year for pupils being the transition year between KS3 and KS4; the year of option choices. This happens during the second term when an option booklet, explaining each subject is given to each pupil. From this option list pupils make their subject choices for KS4 examination subjects. It is vital that the correct choice be made at this time as change becomes difficult at a later date. 

Year 9 pupils also have access to a wide range of extracurricular activities through the many agencies involved with the school, all pupils are encouraged to get involved in these worthwhile activities they are free and transport is provided. Activities such as Skiing, archery, canoeing, snooker coaching, mountain biking etc. is all on offer, so get involved. 

Key Points 

Good attendance is vital and anything below 95% is not acceptable 

Punctuality to all lessons, including registration is essential. 

Registration groups are mixed ability. 

Certain subjects set pupils by ability, and movement between groups will happen thorough the year. 

Each pupil is assessed regularly and three termly broadsheets are produced to enable progress to be monitored. 

Your child will receive and end of year report. 

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding your child.
