A Levels Explained

The College provides a wide range of course provision, with some subjects available at A Level that other smaller schools and colleges would not be able to provide.

If you want to pursue an A Level programme – as the majority of our students do - we will ask you to select four subjects to study together. Normally you will drop one of these subjects following your first year and continue with three subjects to A2 Level.

Because of the way our timetable is designed, almost any combination of these subjects can be studied together.

The full list of subjects available at A Level is on the right. Our Course e-Brochure gives you a taster of what is involved in each course. Alternatively, go to each subject page to see more detailed information. You can also download subject leaflets, which include exam results and case studies on these pages as well.

Entry criteria for a 4 AS programme is:

• At least one grade B at GCSE
• At least a further four grade Cs at GCSE
• You should have at least a grade C in GCSE English and Mathematics
