THE<br />
FACTS.<br />
What does choosing GCSE<br />
options mean?<br />
In year 8 or 9, your child will<br />
be asked by their school to<br />
choose which subjects they’d<br />
like to study at GCSE level.<br />
Which subjects are compulsory?<br />
There are certain subjects that<br />
all pupils must take at GCSE.<br />
These include maths, English<br />
and science.<br />
In all schools, English language<br />
is compulsory, in some schools<br />
English literature is too. Science<br />
can be split into three subjects in<br />
some schools (biology, chemistry<br />
and physics) or may be studied as<br />
two combined science GCSEs.<br />
Speak to your child’s teacher to find<br />
out what the rules are in their school.<br />
