We make no restriction on the combinations of subjects we offer. There have been very few occasions in the past when it has not been possible to accommodate a pupil's requested combination or when too few pupils have requested a course to make it viable. If this should occur, pupil and parent will be notified by the end of the Easter Quarter. Since one pupil's options may influence the availability of courses to other pupils, we ask all pupils to research their options fully and give full consideration to their choices before the deadline.
The Sixth Form Curriculum
Sixth
Form Courses Booklet 2012
Sixth Form pupils follow a curriculum that is designed to stimulate the mind
and equip them to think. Courses are structured around learning rather than
assessment, but in a way that enables pupils to achieve the best possible
examination results. The curriculum is sufficiently flexible to give all pupils
the opportunity to excel. The examined and non-examined strands of the curriculum
are complementary and mutually reinforcing. Through the curriculum we wish
to ensure satisfactory progression to further education.
Qualification for the Sixth Form
The nominal minimum requirement for progression to the Sixth Form is three A grades and three B grades at GCSE, with B grade passes in English, Mathematics and Science. It is also desirable to have achieved a grade A or A* in those subjects to be studied in the Sixth Form.Page last updated Wed 30 Nov 2011 11:48
