AS (Advanced Subsidiary) and A (Advanced) level qualifications are exam based qualifications that focus on traditional study skills. AS Levels are graded from A-E and A Levels are graded from A* to E. In Year 12 students will follow 4 AS Level courses. These can be a standalone qualification. If a student continues to study a subject to A Level it will account for 50% of the final mark. In Year 13 students will continue with 3 or 4 A Levels. These include at least 20% synoptic assessment based on the work covered in Year's 12 and 13. We will offer the following courses at A Level* for students applying to commence their sixth form studies in September 2014. Art Biology Business Studies Chemistry Drama and Theatre Studies English Literature English Language Extended Project Qualification French German Geography Government and Politics History ICT Maths Media Studies Music Physics Physical Education Product Design Psychology Sociology Textiles *All the courses on offer are only provisional, depending on student numbers and staff availability. The final timetable blocking (and therefore possible subject combinations) will be determined by student opting patterns.
