Year 8 Choices Process 2023

This is the first opportunity in your school career where you are able to make choices about some of the subjects you will study. It is important that you spend time thinking carefully about your selection. There are so many fantastic subjects to choose from, but you need to make sure you pick subjects that you are going to enjoy and will be successful in.  

In Year 9 all students will study: 

English  History
Maths Geography
Science  Religious Education (Philosophy & Ethics)
Core PE  PSHE
Spanish or French  

Students will then select one creative choice and two open choices

We hope that the advice and guidance from the recent parents’ evenings-along with Unifrog and the videos from new subjects below-will give you enough information to make an informed selection for your choices for next year.  

You will have been sent a copy of the choices booklet, the link to which can be found below.  The instructions for selecting your choices through the Google Form will be sent ready for the two week window of Monday 6th March to Monday 20th March 2023.  

If you have any further questions, please contact your child's form tutor or email enquiries@hrs.education
