Academic Studies

Our students have the option of choosing 3 or 4 subjects to study at A Level from the choice of courses we offer: 

Art and Design Biology Business Chemistry
Drama and Theatre Studies Economics English Literature Further Maths
Geography History Law Mathematics
Physics Politics Product Design Psychology
Religious Studies Sociology    

 

Students are also given the opportunity to choose to complete an Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) alongside their A Level subjects, counting as an additional academic qualification. For this project they can choose to research an essay, carry out a study or produce an artefact from any area of interest.

EPQs require a large amount of independent research and as such are highly regarded by universities across the country.

Projects completed in the past include:

  • ''Can cheese prevent tooth decay?'' 
  • ''Has Covid-19 affected the increase of OCD''
  • ''Can the Arts have a positive effect on our mental health''

HELP AND SUPPORT

All our A level courses are taught by skilled, subject-specialist teachers. Students are provided with access to resources to support their independent learning including further reading materials, a subscription to UpLearn for some subjects and Seneca.
