Brandon's Year 10 Options

Doesn't seem that long ago we were doing the Year 10 options for Joshua and suddenly Brandon's is now upon us. I attended the Options evening with him last week but to be honest he pretty much knew exactly what subjects he wanted before evening going. So the parents evening was really just to reaffirm his assumptions and make sure he had back-ups that he would be happy with.

His first option was to chose between Geography or History and this was an absolute no brainer for Brandon as he is a genius at Geography.

Then he had a whole host of subjects which he had to pick two for his first choice and then two back up subjects in case he couldn't get them.

So his two main choices were Statistics (which he has already obtained a certificate in) and ICT (which Joshua chose last year as well).

Then for his back up subjects he chose Triple Science (this would give him 3 GSCE's instead of the 2 GSCE's in the standard science subjects that they have to take) and Sports Studies (again another one Joshua chose last year).

Overall I think he has chosen well, playing to his strengths and giving plenty of options for different career paths.
