How to choose your KS4 courses
Dear Students,
During the next few weeks you will have to make some important decisions about
which subjects you wish to study from September when you start Key Stage 4.
These are not easy decisions to make, especially if you are unsure of your future
career path.
Careful thought and discussions with your
parents/carers
, your
Form Tutor
,
subject staff and Mrs Watson
, Careers Education Adviser, will help you select the
correct combination of subjects. It pays to take some time now, listen to all the
advice on offer and make sensible and realistic choices that you will be happy with
throughout Key Stage 4.
Do’s
Don’ts
Do choose a broad range of
subjects to study.
Do choose subjects that you
will enjoy, work hard at, and
in which you will achieve.
Do speak to your teachers
about the subjects you are
considering.
Do not choose subjects
because your friends are
choosing them - their choices
may suit them, but may not
suit you.
Do not choose a subject
because of a particular
teacher.
You will be studying your chosen subjects for two years through Key Stage 4.
You can change your mind before a course starts in September 2014, however,
there will not be the opportunity to change once courses are underway.
