What the college says

In order to be able to gain entry to an A Level pathway, students must achieve a minimum of 40 points from the best 8 GCSE grades, including maths and best English grade. If you gain between 40 and 43 points, we may advise you on a combination of both A Level and vocational courses to ensure a more successful outcome at the end of the two years. For the BTEC/Technicals an aptitude (where already studied) and a genuine interest in the subject area are required and 36 points from the best 8 GCSEs, including English and maths, needs to be achieved. For both A Level and BTEC/technical courses, a student’s behaviour and work ethic, determined through effort and behavioural points will also be taken into account when considering theirapplication to the Sixth Form. Pathway One - 36 points or above Between 36 -39 points, students can access our vocational courses. If their vocational course is equivalent to 2 A Levels they can take one additional course from the options available. The course options would be discussed for suitability. Pathway Two - 40 points or above If a student achieves 40 points or more, they can take 3 A Levels, or 2 A Levels plus the Level 3 AAQ in I.T: Data Analytics with an option to take Level 3 Core Maths or EPQ as a fourth choice. Pathway Three - 60 points or above If a student achieves more than 60 points, they can take 3 A Levels and are required to take the EPQ or Level 3 Core Maths as their fourth subject, or they have the option to take 4 A Levels.
