When students reach Year 9 at Hammersmith Academy, they and their parents will begin the process of deciding which subjects they wish to take in Year 10 and into their GCSE studies. To help students and their parents decide which subjects will be suitable options, the Academy holds an Options Evening where staff from all the academic departments are on hand to provide guidance and answer any questions that they may have.
Options Booklet
Students and parents receive an Options Booklet which outlines the option choices available to them. Within this document you will find detailed course information for each of the subjects, including a breakdown of the GCSE course and the coursework and examination requirements.
GCSE Options Booklet 2025-2026
Options Presentation
In addition to receiving the Options Booklet, students and parents will receive an online presentation from Ms Samuels, Associate Assistant Headteacher and Mr Francis, Head of Year 9.
The presentation will be made available here.
