Courses
Students will select three subjects that they will study over a two-year linear course with all formal examinations taken at the end of Year 13. Some of our most academic students may wish to study four subjects, and we are happy to accommodate this request if we can.
In addition to the Level 3 subject lessons, students also spend time developing their wider skills through tutor time. In Year 12 all students receive a weekly lesson on ‘study skills’. The sessions include an emphasis on personal resilience and independent organisation. As a part of this programme all students are supported in developing vital skills including accurate note taking, extended writing tips for exams and time management strategies and effective revision techniques.
Extended Project Qualification
The Extended Project Qualification is an additional qualification that we encourage students to explore. Students choose a topic, research, create a report or product and then deliver a presentation on their project. It is highly respected by universities, and allows students to develop independent research and academic skills essential for further study after A-levels. The EPQ gives students the freedom and time to explore an idea that interests them. Students will be taught project management and degree level research skills, which they will evidence through the management of their own project.
Core Maths
Core Maths is an exciting course that complements and supports subject choices as well as providing increased employability skills. Students studying Biology, Psychology and Geography are strongly encouraged to take this subject alongside their other A-levels. Increasing numbers of students are opting to study it as it is highly regarded by employers and universities alike. It allows you to continue to study some aspects of Mathematics at Level 3 without having to commit completely to an entire A-Level.
