Year 9 Explore Options

The Year 9 Options Launch Evening at The Skipton Academy was a resounding success, offering students and their families an informative and interactive opportunity to explore Key Stage 4 subject choices. Held in a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere, the event saw an impressive turnout, with students actively engaging in thoughtful conversations about their academic future.

Parents and students had the chance to speak directly with subject teachers, who explained the course content, assessment formats, and future career links for each subject. Whether it was understanding the demands of GCSE Art or discovering the real-world applications of Business Studies, there was plenty of valuable insight to absorb.

The event also helped demystify the options process. Informational sessions outlined how students can best align their subject choices with their interests, strengths, and aspirations. It was reassuring for many families to receive clear guidance during such a pivotal decision-making stage.

The evening truly empowered students to take ownership of their learning paths. We’re proud to support them as they step into this exciting new phase of education, and we thank all staff, parents, and carers who made the event such a success.
