Sixth Form Options Process
Introduction
The courses offered as part of the Sixth Form curriculum are rigorous and intellectually demanding as well as providing a great deal of flexibility so that each Sixth Former can follow a programme suited to his or her interests and strengths. All subjects require students to organise their time effectively, as well as develop skills and an appreciation of the value of hard work.
We have carefully considered our Sixth Form curriculum to ensure it caters for a wide range of interests. It allows students to follow a path, which can successfully lead to a University place, an apprenticeship or straight into work. We offer a selection of A Level and BTEC courses, with students able to select from both course types.
Courses Offered
Please note that we reserve the right to not run a course listed below if there is insufficient interest.
A Levels
A Level subjects have all undergone a process of reform in recent years in line with recent government policy. A Level subjects now have a linear structure, meaning there are no AS examinations at the end of the Lower Sixth. Our Lower Sixth
students now sit rigorous internal examinations in the summer our tracking and UCAS predicted grades.
