The A Level Programme allows you to follow a more specialised programme of study which will lead you towards Higher Education or employment. A levels are usually studied over two years. In the first year you will study AS levels and upon successful completion of your AS courses you will move on to A2 in your second year. Students usually start with a programme of 4 AS courses in the first year, moving to a more specialised programme of 3 A2 courses in year two.

Entry Requirements for the A Level Programme:
To guarantee a place on the A Level Programme you will need the following qualifications:

• 4 GCSEs at Grade B or above.
• If you don’t have 4 Grade B’s you will still be considered for entry onto the Advanced Programme.
• We recommend that you achieve at least a Grade B in the subjects you are choosing for Advanced Level study. If you have achieved lower than a Grade B in a subject, this might not be the best subject for you to continue to A level!

Applications from students not educated in English or Welsh secondary schools, or who have not sat enough GCSEs to meet the entry requirements, will be considered on their individual merits.
