Are they options? Are they choices? No, they're option choices (official name used by [[teachers]])! In January [[Year 9]]s have to drop some subjects and take the others further, for [[GCSE]] in most cases.

== Mandatory ==
These are the subjects which everyone must take:
*[[Maths]] [[GCSE]]
*[[English Literature]] GCSE
*[[English Language]] GCSE
*[[Biology]] GCSE
*[[Physics]] GCSE
*[[Chemistry]] GCSE
*[[RS]] GCSE
*[[PE]] lessons just to keep fit
*[[PSHE]] lessons just to learn everyday skills

== Option 1 - Languages==
You have to choose one of the languages you are studying for this option. If you want to do two languages, don't worry, you will have the choice the other language in options 3 and 4.

== Option 2 - Humanities ==
In this option you can choose [[History]] or [[Geography]]. Again, if you want both you can choose the other in options 3 and 4.

== Option 3 - Free Choice ==
Choose one from:
*[[Sociology]]
*[[Maths Plus]] (not to be taken with Computing Plus in another option)
*[[Computing Plus]] (not to be taken with Maths Plus in another option)
*[[History]]
*[[Geography]]
*[[French]] (only if you do French at [[BRGS]] already)
*[[Spanish]] (only if you already do Spanish at BRGS already)
*[[German]]
*[[PE]]
*[[Music]]
*[[Art]]
*[[Drama]]
*[[Resistant Materials]]
*[[Electronics]]
*[[Graphics]]
*[[Food Technology]]

== Option 4 - Free Choice==
This is the same as option 3.

== Option 5 - Critical Thinking ==
Yes or no.

No, they're option choices (official name used by [[teachers]])! In January [[Year 9]]s have to drop some subjects and take the others further, for [[GCSE]] in most cases. Some people choose the same options as their friends in order to be in the same classes as them. This is a mistake, as it rarely works, and people who have picked the exact same options often find themselves sharing perhaps one class at the most, whereas people who pick completely different options may find themselves in all their compulsory classes together.
