Interesting results from a revamp of our school options for Years 10-11 (GCSE) Our boys now do eight core GCSE's (Eng., Eng Lit; Maths; French; Phy; Chem: Biol + Hist/Latin) and can then choose two from Economics; Geog; Music; German; DesignTech; Greek 140 boys in a five class year group. Geography compulsory until this year's new options choice system. Our numbers for the GCSE Economics course have hovered around 36-46 over the last 5 years (two sets) from which 25-30 go onto A level + another 10-15 who have not taken it at GCSE. Options choices for September 98 Economics 66 Geography 52 German 33 DT 43 We would have had 80+ taking it but a large group will opt for Economics in the Vi Form having taken alternative options in Years 10 & 11.
