OCR’s A Level in Classical Civilisation will encourage learners to acquire a sophisticated level of knowledge and understanding of the literature and culture of the classical world through studying a diverse range of ancient material and making connections and comparisons between them; to understand classical literature, thought and material culture in its context; including how issues and values relevant to the society in which they were created are reflected in ancient sources and materials; to further develop skills of critical analysis and evaluation and apply these to the range of source materials studied in order to gain insight into aspects of the classical world; to articulate an informed response to the material studied, using a range of appropriate evidence to formulate coherent arguments with substantiated evidence based judgements.
The entry requirements to the Sixth Form are a minimum of six subjects at grade 6, with girls achieving at least level 6 in subjects chosen to study, and grade 5 in English and Mathematics. Both internal and external pupils wishing to enter the Sixth Form will be expected to have met the same academic entry requirements for the Sixth Form. No equivalent qualifications will be accepted. In addition to the Sixth Form’s minimum academic requirements pupils will need to satisfy minimum entrance requirements for the courses for which they are applying. If either internal or external applicants fail to meet the minimum course requirements, they will be given the option of pursuing any alternative courses for which they do meet the minimum academic requirements. Course requirements are published annually in the Sixth Form Prospectus on the School Website.
