Unsure about your future

Michael is in Year 9 and enjoys most of his subjects. He doesn't have a clear career plan so found choosing his key stage 4 options quite daunting. He found it useful to talk to lots of different people in and outside school.

'I had the opportunity to talk to my head of year, which was great, and the Connexions personal adviser about my option choices. I also used the school's option booklet which I went through with my parents and this helped me to decide what courses would suit me.'

Michael is now looking forward to studying a range of GCSEs including additional science, product design and food technology.
