CHOICES AT 14+ : Course Choice and YOU

Steps to take before making a decision

• Read through the course descriptions and discuss possible options with your parents.
• Listen to advice given about courses and levels.  Look at your report booklet for departmental recommendations.
• Listen to the advice given by your Guidance Teacher and the Careers Service on course choice.  Look at the Course Choice Form, (see APPENDIX 1).
• Remember all pupils must study subjects in areas 1 to 7.
• Remember there are new subjects available in Third Year that you did not study in Second Year.
• You must select one further subject in areas 8.
• Sometimes it is useful during coursing to consider a reserve choice of subject.
• Select a course which reflects your good grades in Second Year and gives you lots of opportunities in the future.
• Please do not select a subject because you like the teacher ( S/he may not take the class), or because your friends are taking it (You may fall out with them).
• You will have an individual interview with your Guidance Teacher to discuss your choice of course.
