The documents below will help students and parents/guardians to decide which subjects to study in Year 10 and 11, as well as providing information about the curriculum as a whole.

Each subject is explained in greater detail in the Options booklet. Information should be read carefully and any questions can be directed accordingly to the subject teacher named on each page.

The decisions made at this point are important as they may affect the courses pupils wish to study once they have left Priory and may also influence future career aspirations.
