Most students choose three subjects at level 3 for their post 16 studies. Entry criteria for each subject varies and discussions with teaching staff are essential in order for you to understand what grades you will need at GCSE in order to progress to level 3.

All subjects are taught by subject specialists. Additionally, many of our staff have further subject insight from being exam writers, markers and assessors for their specific subjects.

For entry into 3 A Level courses we require 6 GCSE’s at Grade 5 or above.

For entry into a blend of A Level and Vocational Level 3 courses we require 5 GCSE’s at Grade 4 or above.

We operate a policy of not having option blocks during the initial application stage. An advantage of our school’s size is that the curriculum and timetable can be constructed fairly flexibly around students’ requirements and in an overwhelming number of instances, everyone’s choice combinations are accommodated.
