Students in Year 12 are full time and all begin a programme of study that includes three subjects. The subjects are selected from our option blocks. Students have the opportunity to study A Levels, Vocational courses or a combination of both. A broad range of support and study skills are delivered to support students. Students are also encouraged to study the EPQ and complete MOOC’s. All Year 12 students sit summer entrance exams. The successful completion of these enables students to transition into Year 13 and be guided appropriately to their next steps including university.

Our pastoral structure ensures that most of this curriculum is delivered in tutor time each morning.

To support students in trying to ensure success all programmes of study require 6 GCSE Grade 4-9 including English and Mathematics.

Many subjects have individual academic requirements. For more details please follow the link to our entry requirements. For example to study French or Mathematics a student would require at least a 6 in that subject at GCSE.

For further clarification on the expected academic standard required. Please see subject inserts available on our Courses Page.
