Pathways
A significant strength of our sixth form is the wide range of subjects we have on offer and the multiple combinations of subjects that students can take. We invite students to apply to one of three pathways:
A level pathway
Study 3 A-levels
Combined pathway
Study a 120 credit BTEC and 1 A-level
BTEC pathway
Study a 180 credit BTEC
All of these pathways lead to a place at university and we will help students to pick the pathway which is right for them to ensure that they achieve the best possible grades. In addition to this students aspiring to a top university have the opportunity to study four A levels if they have achieved a majority of grades 8/9 at GCSE.
Any students who have not yet achieved a 5 in either English Language or Maths GCSE will receive timetabled lessons to prepare them to retake this qualification.
Option Blocks
When choosing their subjects students must ensure that they only choose one subject per timetable block.
For BTEC courses students doing a BTEC Diploma must choose both Core blocks and students doing an Extended Diploma BTEC must choose both Core and the Option blocks.
