Welcome to Year 9
Year 9 is an important year here at Ysgol John Bright. This year you will transition from KS3 to KS4 and begin your option subjects. This is an exciting time, as some of you will begin studying new subjects you have never studied before, whilst others will be learning about the subjects you love in greater depth. You will do assessments that will show your progress, and you will also learn some important skills such as how you prepare for exams.
