Years 12-13 / age 17-19

The timetable has been planned with the intention that students will be given the opportunity to take 5 A/AS level subjects, and carry out an extended AS Level project in a topic of their choice and related to their desired university degree course.

Students will also receive two/three sessions per week in “university skills” which will introduce them to life at, and the particular demands and expectations of, universities.

‘The Core’ will be taught for two lessons per week for those students taking relevant subjects at A/AS level. Some students with particular specialisations at A/AS level will be able to swap ‘The Core’ for an additional lesson in their special subjects (for instance, if a student takes two MFLs at A/AS level).

The ‘Study Afternoons’ will provide more time for revision and study, including time for the extended project as well as special tutorial sessions to prepare each student for A/AS level exams in line with their PLP.
