GCSE Options - Cwmtawe Community School Academic GCSE Options Share This Page Share on Facebook Share on Facebook Share on X Share on X Email this page GCSE Options In the Summer term, pupils in Year 8 have the opportunity of choosing subjects they would like to specialise in. There are some subjects which are compulsory that everyone studies. Pupils are then able to select four option subjects. Compulsory Subjects English Literature (*subject to progress in combined course) Mathematics Mathematics Numeracy Double Science or Seperate Sciences (Triple Science) Welsh Religion, Values and Ethics Sport & Games Wellbeing Option Subjects Art Business Studies Child Development Constructing the Build Environment Digital Technology Drama Food & Nutrition French Geography German Health & Social care and Child Care History Hospitality & Catering Music PE Product Design Skills Challenge Certificate ( Welsh Baccalaureate) Please note, options are subject to change. Although we work hard to try and accommodate all option choices, in a small number of cases it may not be possible. Options Process The options process starts in March when pupils complete an options survey. This information is used to devise the options structure. Pupils receive special assemblies in school and have access to support from the Careers Adviser and school staff, before deciding upon their final choices in June. Pupils then start studying their option subjects in September of Year 9.
