No one expects you to plan out your whole life just yet, but
choosing your subject options for Years 10 and 11 is a great chance to
have a serious think about what you’d like to do. Some of you might
have a pretty good idea already, but if you’re feeling a bit lost,
and don’t know how to decide, this website is an excellent place
to start. Which Way Now? explains what’s on offer, and gives lots of details on the kinds of qualifications and courses you can do. Besides GCSEs, which you probably all know about, there are new Vocational GCSEs — where you learn about an area of work that you’re interested in — or NVQs which let you learn how to do a particular job. Depending on what’s available at your school, you should be able to mix and match them together to get the combination that suits you best. Also read the information on the HVEC KS4 page. Which Way Now? also gives helpful information on each subject with the courses available and how they are assessed - course work and /or exams. So work through the activities and questions, check out what other people think, and get a few hints from the young people in our case studies — see how they made up their minds. You can read Which Way Now? on your own or with your friends — you might work on it with a teacher at school — or take it home and go through it with someone from your family.
