To study A Level courses, students need to achieve at least five Grade 6s as a basic entry level. However, if students wish to study one of the three A Level sciences, they must achieve a minimum of a GCSE grade 7 in the science they wish to study. If a student wishes to study A Level Maths, they must achieve a GCSE grade 7 in Maths and to study Further Maths, students must achieve a minimum of a Grade 8 in GCSE Maths. Individual circumstances may be considered when students have performed well in talent subjects e.g. Art, Drama, Photography. You should have studied Geography at GCSE and achieved a Grade 6.
Assessment will be continual with formal assessments in the shape of coursework and examinations.
