   A LEVELS



LOWER SIXTH

All students will be expected to choose 4 AS subjects to study in their first year.

STUDENTS MUST ACHIEVE AT LEAST 5 GRADE ‘C’ PASSES AT GCSE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR A LEVEL COURSES

At the end of the Lower Sixth those wishing to continue with their studies at A2 level in the Upper Sixth will be asked to select 3 of their 4 AS choices.

Their 4th subject will gain a certificate at AS level and this will also count in the university points score tariff system when applying for university places.

UPPER SIXTH

All students will be asked to continue with 3 of their chosen subjects.

Students who achieve 2 AS passes and continue their studies at A2 will be expected to choose a further AS subject in support.
