Dear Students,WelcomeWe are very pleased that you have chosen to remain at your Key Stage 3 school as you enter into Key Stage 4. Staff already know you and have seen you developfresh from your primary schools into young adults, with so much potential.For those students who are joining us at Key Stage 4, we have an excellent care and guidance team, who will meet with you individually to ensure a smoothtransition. Staff are very much looking forward to getting to know you and to support you on the next phase of your educational journey.Year 9 is a significant time in your education, when you will make important decisions, with the help of staff and your family. For the first time you will have theopportunity to personalise which subjects you hope to study at school and which of the four pathways you intend to choose.Within key stage 4 at our schools, there are perhaps a bewildering number of different qualifications on offer, as well as differentsubjects. We will help you and your family to come to the right decision for you.It’s quite scary to think about, but when you retire, perhaps at the age of 70, it will be 2076. The world is changing very rapidly and it will be increasingly unusual for aperson to remain in the same career for all of their working life. Many careers that you could be doing will not even exist at the moment, for example, who wouldhave thought there would be a career called a “Scrum Master”, or an “App Developer”, or a “Chief Listening Officer” 15 years ago?For us, it is vitally important that we continue our work to build a range of skills that will help you in your future—we will continue to do this through our focus onCharacter Values, which are explained later in this booklet.To conclude, staff have already started to talk to you about the options process and will continue to do so over the coming weeks.We are all absolutely committed to helping you chose the best options for you. Take time to read this booklet and talk to staff andyour family.I wish you every success as we work together towards the next phase of your education.Mrs J. Patrick Trust Leader - Apollo Partnership TrustExecutive Head Teacher - Castle Rock High School & Newbridge High School3
