Parents of Year 8/9 students - choices in Year 8/9
In Year 9 your son or daughter will be making a choice about which subjects and courses to study in Years 10 and 11. They will need to choose which GCSE subjects they want to take and, depending on what their school offers, they may also be able to choose from a range of other courses.
Which Way Now? is a magazine full of ideas to help your son or daughter choose their Key Stage options.
- They can find out what they need to think about and who can help
- They can see what other young people did
- They can use the action points to help organise their ideas, take control of their learning and shape their future.
The centre pages of the publication also has a pull-out guide for parents and carers, so that you can help your son/daughter with their learning and career choices.
You can view or download a copy of the publication from the Attachments section on the right.
Spring 2011 Newsletter
Helping parents to help their children in making the right decisions
Surveys show that young people are more likely to go to their parents than anyone else for trusted help about 
their choices concerning courses, qualifications, training and jobs. You are uniquely placed to offer help, support and encouragement when these important decisions have to be made.
There are many learning routes and potential opportunities on offer so it is important to get good impartial Information, Advice and Guidance. Our Spring 2011 Newsletter will introduce you to the help available, and signpost you to further information on qualifications and financial support that may affect the decisions you and your son/daughter face over the next few years.
