Sixth Form education may be an end to itself, with students entering the world of work directly from A-Levels, but more usually it is a stepping-stone to further study or training. Both of these factors were borne in mind when our Sixth Form programme was designed.
We see the Sixth Form as the final stage in preparing students for the challenges that life will present them with. As with other stages of the secondary school we offer a broad range of subjects at AS and A Level.
Students are expected to take a minimum of three subjects (maximum of five), in fact most will take four to AS Level with three of these continuing to full A-Level. In order to be accepted onto an AS/A level course, students must have gained a C grade or higher (or equivalent) at IGCSE level.
In certain subjects students must also have followed the Extended syllabus at IGCSE.
The subjects currently on offer are as follows;
| Block 1 |
AS English Language
