Procedure for Choosing Options
Pupils will be given the option blocks (shown below) and asked to make their provisional choices shortly before half term in the Spring Term, in consultation with the Parents, Form Tutor and Housemaster or Housemistress. Such choices are not irrevocable. however, options will only
run if there are sufficient numbers in each class.
Setting in the Remove
In most subjects, those located in the option blocks, setting will be determined by the subject combination selected by the individual pupil, and so sets will be mixed ability. The only exception is where there is more than one set in a subject in a particular option block and they may be set by ability in that subject. In French, Mathematics, Double Award Science and Spanish, setting will be by ability. In English there is usually a streamed top and second set, a set for those who find English challenging, and, in between, three mixed ability sets.
