YEAR 8 GUIDED CHOICES
2023
SUBMITTING YOUR GUIDED CHOICES:
You will get an invitation email through your school email. The guide here takes you through how to proceed. Please note: it is NOT the exact wording and images from our forms, but all the principles you need are exactly the same.
We need you to make 6 choices, following the rules for your Guided Choices, and make sure they are in the right order for your preferences. The compulsory choices must be in the higher choice positions, so that your list of free choices is in preference order down to choice 6.
Welcome to the Gordano School Guided Choices
Information Page for September 2023.
If you have a question then please email
