Year 9 Options
During the course of Year 9 students will pick their options for Years 10 and 11. This is an exciting time for students as it will be the first time that they have the opportunity to decide how some of their curriculum looks and starts to shape their future career choices.
There will be lots of help for students and parents to help guide the choosing process, if you have any questions about options please contact Mr Smith (dsmith@blandfordschool.org.uk)
