Year 9 Options

The deadline for handing in the Key Stage 4 Options Form is Monday 15th April 2013.  If you are still not sure about which courses to choose or where they might lead, here are some websites which might help you:

• Careerscape and Kudos at Cascaid - these are two interactive tools with questionnaires, videos and case-studies to help inform your decision-making. The licence code can be obtained from Ms McCulloch.
• i-could - a site with videos and a 'careers wizard' to get you thinking;
• Growing Ambitions - a guidance site aimed at parents as well as pupils;
• BestCourse4Me - a site which helps you to map out possible pathways from Year 10 to university and beyond;
• Parent-Adviser - a site aimed at helping parents support their children's decision-making;
• The National Careers Service - a Government site with guidance about all aspects of study, training and employment.
• Informed Choices - a booklet from the Russell Group of Universities about Post-16 choices.

Remember, there's still plenty of time to get the impartial advice and guidance you need. Don't forget that you can book a meeting on a Thursday with Sian Shadbolt, our Youth Connexions Personal Adviser, through Ms. McCulloch or Mrs Shellard.
