  A Levels A Level Structure
All subjects are now linear in format. In other words, all the examinations for the A Level qualification have to be taken at the end of the course in the summer of 2023. At Warwick School, we do not enter candidates for the separate qualification and examinations at AS level, as these will not count towards the final A Level grade.
We believe that in adopting this approach to A Levels, pupils will be able to study in more depth their chosen subjects, develop the school’s learning values at a higher intellectual level and ultimately be much better prepared for university and life beyond.
All pupils are required to choose three subjects to study at A Level and, for more academically able pupils, a fourth subject may also be chosen. In addition, we will continue to offer the Extended Project Qualification and Science in Action research, both of which are regarded by universities very highly, especially when applying for competitive courses. All boys will be expected to participate in the Extended Project Qualification.
Universities will now be placing even greater importance on GCSE results as an indicator of ability as well as using the personal statement and predicted grades from the UCAS application form. For certain subjects such as medical degrees, work experience will also be vital.
Our aim is to provide the highest quality teaching in preparing students for A Level examinations and university entrance.
