Overview of Choices
Deciding year 9 options can be a daunting task for students. For many it is their first big educational decision to make and can seem overwhelming. The PSCHE curriculum states that pupils need to “identify own strengths, interests, skills and qualities as part of the personal review and planning process, including their value to future employability”. We start the conversation about pupils’ future. Away from the compulsory core subjects, many schools differ in regards to what subject choices are on offer for students. ‘Choices’ is a hugely popular show which can adapt to fit any school provision and gives audiences a good overall perspective on how to make positive and informed choices for themselves.
