If this is the case pleasecomplete the boxes below and we will do our best to accommodate your choices.Subject clashes:In option pool:Subjects I would like to study if clash cannot be resolved: Community Service, Work Placement, ‘Adopt a Teacher’ and possibly an opportunity for PE enrichment may beavailable for some students in individual study time. The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) will be offered after school in Year 13. GCSE retakes are available as shown and can also be considered once GCSE results are known. All students must opt for Additional Studies in one pool. This will take 2 of the 6 lessons per fortnight available inthis pool. The four remaining periods will be individual study time. Our expectation is that students then choose ONE AS subject from each of the remaining four pools. We recognisethat for a few students a choice of three Advanced courses plus Additional Studies will be sufficient. This will need tobe negotiated prior to entry. Many subjects appear more than once. These are distinct groups and enable flexibility of choice for students. Please note that for the majority of students, AS subjects will not be available in Year 13 Students taking Further Maths must choose Maths in Pool D. If this causes difficulty please let us know.
