It is only optional in years 10 and 11.
Geography,History,RE are core subject between years 7,8 and 9.
Year 9 Study WW1,WW11,Cold war and some post war history.In RE Year 9 deal with the Holocaust,Martin Luther King,Malcom X,Delai Lama and other 20C religious history that deals with human rights.
Also there are new choices at GCSE,Health and Social Care,Philosophy,Travel Business Studies(replacing geography as a choice for some).
Trouble is I cannot see the choices being there as cutbacks take their toll.
