BromCom Down Nationwide The BromCom service is currently down nationwide, affecting schools across the country. We are in touch with the company and are receiving updates as they work swiftly to restore the service. This will affect your option to see your child’s attendance marks on MCAS. If you have sent a message through MCAS to your child’s school, we might not be able to read this. Please contact school via phone to ensure your message gets to the right person. Schools are also unable to send MCAS messages, therefore please check your emails and phone calls for any communication from the academy. Please contact the school directly via phone or email should you have any concerns. We apologise for any inconvenience and do hope to have all systems running as normal soon.

Year 9 into 10 options

Year 9 into 10 – preferences process for Key Stage 4

The preferences booklet is now available for current year 10’s and the year booklet will be updated in January 2026.

This is an exciting year for our Year 9s as they look forward to the next chapter in their education journey.

All students entering Year 10 in September 2025 will follow a core curriculum of GCSE English Language and Literature, GCSE Mathematics, GCSE Science (double award or triple award), and non-examined Physical Education, Religious Education and Personal Development lessons.

Students will then be guided to choose four further subjects, from a range of around 16 available courses. These include a choice of History or Geography and French. With additional options, this gives students a total of nine GCSEs, including the EBacc suite for most students. The Ebacc demonstrates a broad, balanced curriculum which is important to future education providers and employers.

The timeline for the Year 9 into 10 process is as follows:

  • November 2025 – consultation on draft timetable ‘blocks’ for Year 9 into 10 Students will select one subject from each block
  • December 2025 – updated timetable blocks published
  • Friday 23 January 2026 (at the latest) – publication of the Year 9 into 10 curriculum booklet; this gives details of all the subjects we offer at Key Stage 4
  • Thursday 12 February 2026 – parents’/carers’ evening, giving families the opportunity to discuss potential subject preferences with current teachers
  • Thursday 26 February 2026 – curriculum evening where families will be able to visit all subject areas
  • Monday 16 March 2026 – deadline for subject preferences.
