    For my options (was 2000/01) I chose Business and IT. Then we were told we couldn't do IT (something changed, not really sure what it was) that meant we couldn't do it. Instead we did graphics, apart from the few that moved onto something else that they preferred. Unfortunately we had a bad teacher, were mainly stuck in a sewing room until we eventually got to use the computers a bit more often. Can barely remember what the work actually was in graphics. Enjoyed business, went on to do it at college along with IT. Now in the last few months of my IT degree at uni.

    When I did business at school it was a GNVQ, I think they changed to a GCSE a few years later, so the course could be quite a bit different now I'd imagine. At college there were a couple of choices for business, one was more coursework based, other one more exams.

    English, Maths, Science, PE, RE were and I assume still are compulsory now. Didn't and I'd imagine you still don't have to do GCSE PE and you probably don't have to do RE at some schools. We had a good time in PE in the last two years of school, a football tournament nearly every week.
