Parents and Y9 students should attend the Options Evening to find out more about the wide range of subjects offered and the process itself. The evening will start with a short presentation about the guided pathway process and some top tips about option choices.
Option Booklets
Options booklets with the choices available to your child and key  subject information will be given to all Y9 students in their Option Assembly. It can also be found at https://parkvaleacademy.org.uk/students/guided-option-pathways/

Subject Information
During February & March, subject areas will provide students with subject-specific information about the courses they offer. Informative subject videos can also be found on the website. A range of taster sessions will be offered to students to allow them to experience a subject and find out more about what some subjects have to offer.
Option Forms
The actual forms outlining your child’s option choices will be distributed with the option booklets to each student in advance of the Options Evening. The final date for the submission of options forms will be Monday 24th April and final options will be confirmed in June/July 2025.
Unifrog – Careers Advice
All students should have received an email from Unifrog. This platform provides information to help students make their option choices. It has a range of information about career pathways and qualifications required. It also provides access to MOOCS, described as free, easily accessible, completely online courses that students may wish to take in their own time.
A drop-in session is also available in S1 after school on Wednesday with the academy’s experienced career advisor. Mrs Koppoe will also be present at the Options Evening on 18th March 2025 to offer career advice and any support you may require.
I hope you find this information useful. May I also take this opportunity to thank you in advance for your much-valued support and engagement with this important stage in your child’s education. Should you have any further questions regarding this process, please do not hesitate the academy.
