KS4 Options 2025
All pupils in year 10 and 11 at Castle Donington College study English (language and literature), mathematics, science and non-examined PE.
In addition, each pupil chooses four option subjects. One of these options needs to be Geography, History, French or Spanish. Pupils can opt to take more than one of these subjects.
Pupils make their option choices in the spring term of year 9. The courses currently available to pupils are:
GCSE: Art, Citizenship, Computer Science, Design, Drama, Food and Nutrition, French, Geography, Graphics, History, Media, Music, PE, Spanish, Textiles, Triple Science
Cambridge National Certificate: Child Development
Year 9 students will be given the opportunity to prepare for their choices through various activities and events during the Autumn and Spring Terms. This includes an option evening event and input from our careers team. Our Head of Year 9 and year 9 tutor team will be available to provide guidance throughout this process.
Below you will find a short video explaining this year's options process, and the KS4 Options Booklet.
For further information on the options process, please contact Mr N. Barratt, Vice Principal.
