We have given all of our Year 9 students their options for next year. Please see below for a generic copy of the letter accompanying the confirmation of options.
Dear Student,
KS4 OPTION CHOICES: 2024-2026
Please see below, the subjects that we have allocated to you from the Option Choices’ form that you submitted.
Please see personalised letter given to you in school
Additional to the above subject allocation, you will also study core subjects such as GCSE English Language and GCSE English Literature, GCSE Maths, GCSE Science, Personal Development (a blend of RE, PSHE, Careers & study skills) and Physical Education.
The exact Science GCSE that you will be studying, either ‘two’ GCSE Trilogy Science (dual award Biology, Chemistry and Physics) or ‘three’ GCSE Separate Sciences (Biology, Chemistry and Physics); will be determined during the first part of Year 10. The vast majority of you will be studying Trilogy Science.
The majority of students have received their first choice. However, where subjects were over or under subscribed, some of you will have been allocated your reserve choice.
All of the information on your option choice form has been reviewed by us carefully to ensure that your chosen courses give you the best possible chance of achieving success at KS4.
Parents/Carers: If you have any questions or queries with regards your child’s subject choices, please email Caroline Chirnside (cchirnside@jesmondparkacademy.org.uk). Please do not worry if there are any issues with your child’s allocated options. We will, where we can, aim to resolve them as quickly as possible.
We all look forward to a good start to KS4 in September 2024, which we hope will include continued success with your subjects in Years 10 and 11 at Jesmond Park Academy.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs C Smith
