You will be informed if this is the case and your options will be discussed. All College courses are subject to there being sufficient numbers.
• The courses selected by pupilswill be checked by Heads of House/Senior Team members, taking account of the pupil’s career pathway and current attainment to ensure their needs are met and they have the best possible chance of success in S6 and beyond.
