How many As subjects should I choose?

We advise all students study 4 As Level subjects.

As part of the extra curriculum, it may be possible to study other courses, with iGCSE/As or
national proficiency certification possible if sufficient progress is made.

Home learning
Home learning is an important part of the academic development of pupils; it must therefore
be a worthwhile exercise. It is set each week and recorded in Google classroom. In Grade 12,
pupils should expect assignments for each As subject. Students are expected to manage their
time appropriately and submit according to deadlines. Home learning set by subject teachers
can include tasks that need completion for the next lesson or extended tasks that may take a
longer period of time. Teachers take care to plan differentiated assignments; this may be by
task or outcome.

The Timetable
The curriculum is delivered through thirty-five lessons, each lesson lasting 45-55 minutes.
Lesson allocations are as follows:

Grade 12
As (Option 1) 7 periods per week
As (Option 2) 7 periods per week
