Courses and subjectsThe move to the Sixth Form is exciting and challenging. There are more opportunities for independent thinking and the courses themselves are far more rigorous than GCSEs. We have various criteria for admission to our Sixth Form, which include your GCSE results, your attitude to work, your contribution to the wider life of the school and your disciplinary record. In addition, you must have a viable combination of A-level subjects to study.
Standards on entry
Subjects available (for entry in 2011): Group A subjects are all full A-levels. These are two year courses with most examinations sat in the Upper Sixth (Year 13). Group B subjects are either full A-levels, AS-levels (half an A-level) studied over four terms, or the Extended Project.
You must choose four subjects:
In exceptional cases, you may wish to choose five subjects (four from Group A and one from Group B). However, you need to remember that this amounts to a great deal of work, with virtually no study periods, and risks compromising your chances of top grades. If you wish to pursue this option, please speak to the Deputy Head (Academic).
It is not normally possible to study more than one subject in Group B (but see note 4 below).
Note 1: Further Mathematics can be studied to AS or A2 level. It can only be taken in combination with Mathematics.
Note 2: If the numbers for any given subject are too small, we may not be able to run the course. You will be notified as soon as possible if this is the case.
Note 3: The courses listed here are available during the academic year indicated, but no guarantee can be given about their future availability. Prospective parents and students are advised to contact the school to confirm the curriculum for subsequent years.
Note 4: Depending on overall combination of choices, it may be possible to take the Extended Project and either Further Maths or Greek in Group B.
Note 5: We cannot guarantee that every possible choice of subjects will be accessible, but we are usually able to provide most students with their first preferences.
