Dear Parent or Carer,

Re: Year 8 Curriculum Choice Arrangements

3^rd February – 10^th February 2021

Kingsford Community School looks forward to working in partnership with you and your child during this important time, as your child prepares to embark on their programme of GCSE studies next year.

In relation to this, the school has provided online resources to support and guide you in helping your child to make their curriculum choices. The Year 8 Curriculum Choice information will be available for you to access on the Kingsford Community School website by clicking here.

The Year 8 Curriculum Choice information provides key information regarding the variety of GCSE and Level 2 (GCSE equivalent) courses that are available for study at Kingsford. The online resources include:

1. A recorded presentation by School Leaders about the curriculum choice process. This presentation explains the curriculum choice process and how each GCSE subject is assessed. Subject-specific presentations regarding the details of each subject course are also provided.

2. A Curriculum Choice Prospectus. This booklet provides introductory information about each subject course to support you and your child in making curriculum choice decisions.

Once you and your child have decided which subjects your child wishes to pursue, please complete the Google form which can be found by clicking here:
