Guided Pathways (GCSE Options) 2025/2026

From Year 9 students at Weldon Village Academy can personalise their curriculum whilst maintaining a broad, balanced and ambitious education.

To support you in this decision, subject teachers have prepared literature detailing the course requirements. You will also find Mr Norris and Mr Cutmore’s presentation from the Guided Pathways Evening 1.

Please ensure that you take time to review all the information, ask questions and discuss this together.

Selections will be available on the Student Portal, from Wednesday 25th March. The deadline for choices is Tuesday 14th April. Changes after the deadline will not be accepted, however there will be a process to allow changes after week 4 of Year 9.

Students also have log in details for www.unifrog.org, a website used throughout Years 7-11 in Core Studies lessons. It is a one-stop-shop where students can easily explore their interests in possible future careers, find out what qualifications are needed, and which pathways are available to them to get there.

This page is updated at the launch of Guided Pathways each academic year with the relevant, current information.
