The flexibility and breadth of our curriculum ensures we are able to help all pupils reach their goals and choose the qualification best suited to their needs. A level pupils normally specialise in three subjects, though four or more are possible for very able pupils, from a choice of over 20 academic disciplines, undertaking a detailed and thorough approach to learning.
A level study allows pupils to pursue a deeper understanding of subjects already familiar from prior study or entirely new for the Sixth Form, while developing important independent study skills which will prove invaluable to their future. You can see information regarding requirements or recommended courses for future university courses pathways here.
Positive reasons for choosing A levels
SPECIALISATION
Pupils can choose areas of strength and interest, and focus on these.
Less on emphasis on coursework
Look closely at the descriptions, but many A levels do not require any coursework.
Independence
Study periods are essential to A level success and therefore require motivation and for you to learn to focus.
