The Sixth Form
At A Level your final grade will be based on examinations taken at the end of a two year course.
BTEC, V Level and Cambridge Technical Qualifications are equivalent to one A Level. Two years of study must be completed to obtain accreditation. These courses contain significant project-based assessments.
You will select three full subjects at the start of Year 12 along with one of the additional choices.
Selecting the most appropriate courses is one of the most important factors in achieving success at Sixth Form. Some subjects have a traditional exam focus and others are assessed through project-based assessments throughout the course.
You will be advised about choosing combinations of subjects, and those students with particular career aspirations, such as medicine, will be given guidance as to which subjects will be essential for further study.
