Subject:                          Year 9 Curriculum Choices

 

Dear Parents/Carers,

 

I hope that you and your families are keeping safe and well in the current situation.

 

Whilst we are closed for normal business at the moment, we still need to plan for next academic year. As you know, the deadline which we have set for entering subject choices for next year is Monday 30 March. In order to be able to construct the curriculum and timetable for September, we are still asking you to keep to this deadline please.

 

The enforced cancellation of the Year 8 parents evening scheduled for Thursday evening of this week undoubtedly makes the process of selecting subjects more difficult. In the absence of the opportunity to meet with teachers face-to-face in the curriculum areas where choices need to be made, there is the opportunity for you to email staff where you have questions which relate to the subject choices.

 

We have published the list of teaching staff email addresses on our website and these can be accessed through the following link: https://www.stbarts.co.uk/portals/parents/

 

If you would like to ask more general questions about certain subject choices, rather than specific ones relating to your own child’s progress this year, it would be most appropriate to contact the Head of Faculty for this curriculum area in the first instance, rather than your own child’s teacher. These contacts are as follows:

 

·         Modern Foreign Languages: Mrs Wood – mwood@stbarts.co.uk

·         Humanities (History & Geography): Miss Devitt – ldevitt@stbarts.co.uk

·         Expressive Arts (Art, Dance, Drama, Music, Product Design, Textiles): Mrs Robertson –grobertson@stbarts.co.uk

·         Food: Mrs Eastman – leastman@stbarts.co.uk

·         Computing: Mr Cope - ecope@stbarts.co.uk

 

If you are having any difficulties completing the form online, please contact my assistant Ms Hampson with a list of the subject choices your son/daughter has made and we can enter these for you. Ms Hampson can be contacted at – nhampson@stbarts.co.uk.

 

You can of course also contact me if you have more general queries about this process at – jsharpe@stbarts.co.uk.

 

Whilst these are not the ideal circumstances in which we would like to conduct this process, I hope this provides you with all the information you and your child would need to make the best choices for Year 9.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Jeremy Sharpe

Deputy Headteacher

St Bartholomew's School
