Where do I access the Microsoft Form from to support my child to choose option subjects?
The Microsoft Form will be emailed to parents/carers on Thursday 2 March 2023.
My child has submitted the form but we have realised we have made a mistake. What should we do?
Email contactus@bradford.trinitymat.org before the deadline for submission (Monday 20 March 2023) and a member of our team will correct this on the system.
What is the deadline to complete the Microsoft Form?
The deadline is Monday 20 March 2023.
My child wants to study both History and Geography. Can they do this?
Yes they can. They need to make sure they put their first preference in their Humanities option choice. They then can put the second Humanities subject as one of their five choices from the other Option block.
Will my child work towards a qualification in PE?
No. Core PE is part of the curriculum in all year groups. Students will have one lesson per week of PE in Years 10 and 11.
If students wish to work towards a qualification in Sport then they should choose BTEC Sport as one of their choices.
Why does my child have to make four choices if they do not have four options?
Whilst we will endeavour to ensure students study their preferred choices we ask that all students put down additional choices in the event that we cannot timetable their preferred options.
If I have questions about the subject content of the options available, who can I ask?
Please refer to the guidance in the subject choices booklet or watch the subject promotional videos in this IAG section. Students can also speak to their subject teachers in the Academy. If you have further questions after having explored these options, please complete the Microsoft Form and a member of the curriculum team will either:
- Reply to you via email
- Contact you by phone
My child would like guidance about how their GCSE options link to their future study and career choices. Is there somewhere they can get this guidance?
‘If you have any questions about careers advice and guidance then please email the academy on contactus@bradford.trintiymat.org and we will get in contact with you.
