GCSE Options 2025
Welcome to our GCSE options web page 2025
Year 8 Options Evening 2025, Thursday 13th February, Nevill Campus, 6pm-7.30pm
As students come to the end of Year 8 at Hove Park School, we give them the opportunity to make some choices about the subjects they will study when they start their GCSE courses at the beginning of Year 9.
Students have a range of subject options to choose from and have to make three decisions:
- Whether to study Geography or History.
- Which 2 other subjects to study.
- Which 2 subjects to list as reserve choices.
On this web page you can find information, advice and guidance about all the subjects we teach as part of the GCSE curriculum. You can watch the videos or read the Options Booklet for detailed information about each subject. We would also recommend students and their parents and carers attend our GCSE Options Information Evening which is being held on Thursday 13th February 2025 at the Nevill Campus, 6pm-7.30pm.
Once a student has made their decisions about which subjects they will study they will need to complete the options application form. This will be available on this web page from the day of the Options Information Evening.
The FAQ’s on this webpage also provide further information.
