-
Students who have a good
to high level of success at GCSE level will be expected to study FOUR
SUBJECTS in the first year of Sixth Form (Year 12).
-
This will mean choosing
four subjects at AS (Advanced Subsidiary) Level (pitched at
the standard that students normally reach after one year of post 16 study).
-
Each subject at AS level
comprises 3 units (modules) of work and will be examined during the first
year of study.
-
Students can then decide
whether to continue with a chosen subject or to relinquish it and
achieve an AS qualification.
-
The majority of our
students will probably decide to continue with three subjects
into Year 13 and add the extra 3 units of work per subject and
thereby achieve the full A2 award (equivalent to A level). A2 courses begin
immediately after AS exams in the summer term.
-
Students will be expected to
study 4 subjects unless otherwise advised.
