Year 9 – build your future
Whether you’ve chosen your GCSE options already or are picking them this year, our Year 9 pages will be really useful for you. They’ll help you begin to understand the importance of your studies as you progress through school, and how this will relate to your educational journey including college/sixth form and higher education.
Year 9 can be difficult, as you’re so close to being able to do your chosen subjects (alongside core subjects- of course), but it’s the final push! Work hard, give 100% effort in all of your classes, and you will soon be studying your favourite subjects, and getting stuck into your GCSEs.
Click on the boxes below to explore how to make the most of year 9 and start planning for a future featuring higher education.
