Courses
The Sixth Form Study Programme
Our aim is to ensure that all our students realise their true potential and are able to secure coveted places in the highly competitive world of Higher Education, apprenticeships and employment. University offers are based on a candidate’s best three predicted A-Level grades, with a minimum of ABB being required for many of the more competitive courses. We therefore ask students to choose and focus on achieving good grades in 3 A Level subjects.
