This is the first opportunity for pupils to shape their own learning, explore their interests in greater depth, and begin considering how their choices may support future ambitions—whether that be further study, apprenticeships, or employment.  \nThis booklet is designed to help you and your child make informed and confident decisions about their subject preferences. It outlines each stage of the process and timeline, provides details about every subject on offer, and explains how each option contributes to a balanced and achievable set of courses leading to respected qualifications recognised by colleges, universities, and employers.  \nAt Reepham, we are proud to offer a broad curriculum that nurtures individual strengths and equips every pupil for success beyond Year 11. Thoughtful decision-making at this stage is essential, as once courses have begun, it can be very difficult to make changes.  \nWe recommend reading this booklet together, discussing the options carefully, and seeking advice from teachers where needed. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me or any member of the school team for further guidance.  \nYours faithfully,  \nHelen McGuinness  \nDeputy Headteacher (Curriculum, Teaching and Learning)  \nPreference Process Timeline  \n\n| Date | Event |\n| --- | --- |\n\nThursday 18th December 2025  \nYear 9 Report on Arbor  \nYear 9 Preference Assembly.  \nPupils receive a hard copy of the Preference Booklet (this is also available on the school website) .  \n\n| W/b 19th January 2026 | A week of assemblies introducing all preference subjects. |\n| --- | --- |\n\nThursday 29 January 2026  \nYear 9 Parents’ Evening.  \nPrioritise appointments with staff who teach the subjects your son or daughter is genuinely considering as GCSE preference choices.  \nFriday 30th January 2026 0900 AM  \nYear 9 Straw Poll Survey opens-A web code will be sent via email allowing you to indicate your child’s likely subject preferences, which will help the school create the final subject blocks.  \n\n| Friday 6th February | Year 9 Straw Poll Survey Deadline |\n| --- | --- |\n\n\n| Friday 13th February 2026 | Preference forms shared with parents and carers. |\n| --- | --- |\n\n\n| Friday 27th February 2026 | Completion deadline for online Preference forms. |\n| --- | --- |\n\n\n| Friday 19th June 2026 | Pupils and parents informed of confirmed subject choices. |\n| --- | --- |\n\nHow to choose your subject preferences  \nWe make every effort to allocate each pupil their top four subject preferences; however, this cannot always be guaranteed.
