Dear Parents / Carers
Year 9 Options Evening - Wednesday 1 April 2015
As you aware, during Year 9 our students will go through an Options process, in which they will
select courses to study during Year 10 and 11. This is their first step on their journey to becoming
successful and happy adults.
The next stage in the Options process is the evening for parents and students on Wednesday 1
April 2015. During this time all parents will be offered a one to one appointment with their child’s
Mentor. You will also be able to visit a subject fair where subject staff will be available to answer
any questions you may have about the suitability of the course for your child,
examination/coursework requirements, any specific equipment needed and the appropriateness of
the course in relation to career choices. Mr Witch, Year 9 Progress Leader, and members of the
Senior Leadership Team will also be available should you wish to discuss the process in more
detail.
Appointments with your child’s Mentor can be made using our online system which is now open
and will close at 1.00pm on Wednesday 1 April 2015. To book appointments please go to the front
page
of
our
website
where
you
will
find
a
link
or
visit
https://bruneparkcommunityschool.parentseveningsystem.co.uk. A short guide on how to book
appointments is included with this letter.
Option forms will be issued by your child’s Mentor during the Options Evening and the deadline for
their return is Thursday 23 April 2015. Any returns after this date will result in Options being
allocated according to spaces available. Should you have any questions regarding the Options
process, please contact your child’s Mentor in the first instance.
We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday 1 April 2015.
Yours sincerely
J Duff (Mrs)
Assistant Headteacher
