All applicants
Please provide your choice of subjects in order of preference that you wish to study; this is not binding, just a basis for discussion and advice. After analysing your options, we will inform you which subject combinations are possible based on the choices of all students who apply by 1 December 2022. At the guidance meeting, we might ask you to consider some changes (although we try to avoid this wherever possible) and once our timetable blocks are finalised, guided by the choices submitted, we allow flexibility when it comes to subject changes until mid September. Course changes at the start of Year 12 are only possible if the combination of subjects fit with the timetable blocks, the courses have space and you meet the entry requirements.
