Sixth Form Curriculum 2026
We offer a choice of two different level 3 pathways that cover a broad range of academic, creative and vocational subjects. Both pathways allow progression to competitive universities, apprenticeships, or employment. There is also the opportunity, with agreement by the Head of Sixth Form, to re-take GCSE Maths and English Language as well as studying community languages to A-level. Courses are always under review.
