Make sure you are clear about your personal pathway
Breadth and balance are healthy
There is room for specialisation where it suits
If you don’t get a very good pass in your GCSE science modules but want to do the three separate sciences then you will have to give up your 4th preference to allow you to study science in 9 periods not six. Make sure you tick the box
Get well informed, especially about new courses
List preferences in priority order
Return forms on the Monday following the parents’ evening
Late forms will be dealt with last. 2 back up preferences are essential
Courses will only run if numbers make it viable
Places on oversubscribed courses will be allocated to those who make them a higher priority
If you do not hear to the contrary assume all preferences have been allocated
