A Day in the life… • All year 12 students study 4 option choices • Year 12 students will have 5 study periods a week (maybe more if they attend Twilight lessons) • Year 12 students remain in school during study periods.

  5. Option Choices • Students have selected their preferred subject choices • If anyone is struggling with a subject or is thinking about a change, now is the time to do it. • Most students will drop one subject when they move into A2, providing more time to get better grades in the other 3 • 4 subjects are needed in yr 12 in order to ensure that they have the best 3 for yr 13 and gain more UCAS points
