Practical endorsement (Year 13 only): Students will complete a minimum of 12 practical activities to demonstrate practical competence. This will be endorsed as pass or not achieved but will not contribute marks towards the A Level. Practical requirements impose strict limits on class sizes and places may not be available to late applicants.
