Year 9 Guided Choices

At The Lowry Academy, our Guided Choices process is designed to allow our Year 9 students make key decisions about their future with as much support and guidance possible. These are important decisions for our students as the subjects chosen will help to shape a curriculum that will suit interests and future career needs.

We have designed a curriculum offer which:  

• is broad and balanced across a range of both academic and vocational subjects  
• allows students to pursue courses in areas of particular talent or interest  
• provides a level of flexibility to meet the needs of students who might require support  
• links clearly to further study and future employment.   

This is an exciting time for students at The Lowry Academy.
