Honours Pathway Evening Welcome Thank you for attending

Why did we change our curriculum? At Maghull High School, we want to secure the best outcomes for every student when they leave We want our students to enjoy learning and be interested in what they study We want them to have a broad and balanced curriculum We want our students to have good progression routes to whichever career they wish to follow

How did we change? For students in Year 8 last year, we introduced an element of choice moving into Year 9 It was a huge success, with students settling into their courses well and making good progress Staff feedback indicates that students have been very focussed and motivated in their learning

What is the purpose of this evening? This evening is an opportunity to revisit the choices made last year It is essential to review progress made and ensure that your child is on the most appropriate pathway for them It is an opportunity to ask any questions or clarify any concerns you may have as they move into Year 10

What do we recommend? We recommend that your child maintains courses that they are enjoying and making good progress in We would encourage your child to keep a broad range of subjects We would discourage too much shift as they move into Year 10 NB They will need to opt for Spanish and leave one of their four existing subjects behind if they wish to continue their study of a Modern Foreign Language

What happens next? When we have concluded all of our Year 9 meetings, we will need some time to analyse the feedback from students and parents We will then contact you again to confirm your child’s courses of study for the next two years Please be aware that we cannot guarantee anything at this stage, as the outcomes will be dependent upon timetabling and groups available

Any questions? Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to ask any member of staff present this evening Alternatively, you can e mail Mrs Bennett at bennett.m@maghullhigh.com at any time Thank you
