EMBRACING AMBITION

WELCOME FROM OUR HEAD BOY & HEAD GIRL 

“ 

Embley provides a 

wonderful platform into 

the world by enabling 

students to lead 

initiatives that have a 

positive impact on our 

communities, learn from 

the insights of successful 

leaders and start to build 

their business credentials and networks. 

The MBA Experience, black tie Nightingale 

Lecture Series along with Embley’s 

universities and careers programme help me 

feel better informed in making important 

decisions about my future. Many of us are 

involved in the school’s keelboat sailing 

programme and I plan to take my PB2

Embley’s Sixth Form 

offers a huge range 

of opportunities and 

experiences for day and 

boarding students alike. 

One of the key benefits 

of studying A Levels at 

Embley is the quality of 

education and the small 

class sizes. This enables us to build strong 

working relationships with our teachers, gives 

lessons a tailored approach and ensures that 

teaching and learning relates to the needs of 

the individuals in every class. 

The pastoral side of Embley perfectly 

complements the quality of education. We 

receive a huge amount of support from our 

teachers. I always feel the staff are looking 

after my best interests both inside and 

outside the classroom. This level of support 

is so important because A Levels can be a 

stressful period in our lives. 

We look forward to welcoming you to

Sixth Form students will follow a broad enrichment 

programme. This helps develop an understanding 

of careers and prepare students for the future 

world of employment. 

Nightingale Lecture Series 

Our Sixth Form students attend a formal dinner 

event and listen to and reflect on the life stories 

and experiences of influential entrepreneurs, 

explorers and pioneers. During these evenings, you 

have the opportunity to respond to and discuss the 

challenging issues that are presented to you by the 

guest speaker. 

MBA Experience 

This offers an innovative addition to the school’s 

academic curriculum in Year 12. It will help you 

understand the key factors that impact business 

performance, build your commercial awareness and 

develop your fluency in the language of business. 

The programme is delivered through a series of 

practical and interactive workshops by leading 

business professionals and in partnership with 

Winchester University. 

Industry career evenings 

These events enable our students to interact 

with a range of successful business people and 

hear, first-hand, about their career paths. You will 

receive advice about the skills and qualities that 

will help you lead a successful career. In addition, 

these events also provide an opportunity for you 

to start building your professional networks and 

may lead to opportunities for work experience, 

apprenticeships or future employment.

Duke of Edinburgh 

This programme broadens horizons and develops 

friendships but perhaps most importantly it will 

equip you with vital employability skills such selfdiscipline, 

time management, problem solving and 

communication skills. Silver and Gold trips include 

expeditions to Dartmoor and the Wye Valley. 

Team building residentials 

A fun way in which you will learn to work with 

your peers and, through a variety of activities, 

learn important skills that will help in life beyond 

school, such as understanding different leadership 

and teamwork skills, building trust and enhancing 

problem solving techniques. 

Biennial charitable global outreach 

initiatives 

In recent years, our Sixth Form students have 

supported and visited charity projects in Costa 

Rica, India and Ecuador. Most students encounter 

rewarding, humbling and amazing experiences as 

they make a difference to the lives of others. These 

trips also help to build character and will enable 

you to learn more about yourself. 

PREPARING FOR 

UNIVERSITY 

We will do everything possible to help you make 

informed decisions about your future and you will 

receive all the support necessary to secure a place 

at your chosen university. As part of a small tutor 

group, every student receives tailored advice and

CO-CURRICULAR LIFE 

Our outstanding co-curriculum offers access 

to high-quality activities for all. It provides 

opportunities for student leadership and challenge; 

it enables our young people to uncover new 

interests and talents, explore subjects beyond 

the classroom and build resilience; and it nurtures 

the growth of intellectual curiosity, creativity and 

independent learning. 

We offer a wide variety of sports and our aim 

is to provide all students with the opportunity 

to participate in as many of these as possible. 

Alongside traditional sporting opportunities such 

as rugby, hockey, cricket, netball and rounders, we 

offer outdoor adventure activities. These include 

our Keelboat Sailing Programme, which sees our 

fleet of Etchell 22s and 37ft Stewart racing boat 

moored nearby at Lymington Harbour, golf on our 

9-hole course within the school grounds, a national 

ski team. 

These opportunities will build a variety of skills that 

help students to better understand themselves 

and test boundaries in a challenging, yet safe 

environment. They develop confidence and 

encourage children to evaluate situations and take 

calculated risks – alongside broadening horizons 

and making friends. 

Creative life at Embley is also very important. We 

have a purpose built Performing Arts Centre, a 

Music Department with rehearsal rooms and a 

recording studio and an exceptional Art Faculty 

covering conventional art techniques to textiles, 

ceramics and much more. 

We encourage all our students to try different 

activities and it is our aim that by the time they 

leave our school, they will have found a passion in 

life and had new experiences that will have built 

character and cemented friendships.

ENTRY 

REQUIREMENTS 

Students studying A Levels at Embley will normally 

have attained a minimum of five GCSEs grade 9-5 

(A*-B) and ideally 7 (A) in the A Level subjects they 

wish to study, or an equivalent subject. In order 

to study Further Mathematics, we expect a level 8 

or above. For students that have studied Double 

Science at GCSE and want to go on to study a 

Science subject at A Level, we would expect them 

to have achieved at least a double level 7. However, 

all cases are looked at on an individual basis. 

EXTENDED PROJECT 

QUALIFICATION 

The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) is a 

research-based qualification that is completed 

in Year 12 and complements an A Level study 

portfolio. Students research a subject of their 

choosing before producing a dissertation, 

investigation, performance or artefact. 

Embley students achieve excellent results in the 

EPQs - 100% of our students achieved A* or A 

last year. The qualification is worth half an A Level 

and it is well-respected by universities. It teaches 

students essential research and writing skills that 

are required to succeed in higher education and the 

qualification is invaluable on a personal statement, 

CV or at interview. Many of our students applying 

to universities often receive reduced offers for A 

Level requirements if an A and A* grade is achieved 

in the EPQ. 

A lot of our students choose to study an area that 

will contribute to their university course or a future 

career. In recent years, projects have ranged from 

designing and building a hybrid paddle/surf board 

to conducting meta-research analysis on the diet of 

the Maasai tribe (the latter was highly commended 

by The Peter Watson International Scholarship). 

Other projects have focused on such things as laws 

on capital punishment in the US and Iran, George 

Orwell’s political views, as well as the design and 

materials used in eco-house building. The options 

for topics are limitless. 

Although the nature of the project is individuallydriven, 

students receive one-to-one guidance to 

support the requirements of their title. Tutorial 

discussions are a regular feature of the process and 

we use the vast experience of our staff and network 

with industry and higher education to support each 

student in the process of creating their project. 

Furthermore, we have close links with Southampton 

University’s staff and facilities to support learning 

and can arrange visits to the university to help with 

development and research. 

Students taking three A Levels are expected to 

complement their academic portfolio with an EPQ. 

SIXTH FORM CHOICES 

Choosing A Levels is a finely wrought process 

and our highly experienced senior teaching staff 

are available to help you make these important 

decisions. Our advice is to choose a manageable 

combination of subjects that you enjoy and, if new 

subjects, will play to your academic strengths and 

interests. In our experience, this combination is likely 

to lead to achieving the best grades. 

Most universities usually offer undergraduate 

places based on three A Level grades with very 

few requiring a fourth subject at A Level. In light of 

this, and the increased rigour of the linear A Levels, 

we would anticipate that most students follow 

three A Level subjects and an Extended Project 

Qualification.

ART & DESIGN 

COURSES 

Our large, airy and open plan art studio and 

expert teaching team will help you develop into an 

emerging artist and designer. Similar to facilities 

offered at some of the top universities for art 

degrees, you will have a personalised ‘pod’ space 

for the duration of your A Level course; giving you 

ample space and flexibility to develop your art work. 

We also have a range of installation spaces where 

our students can experiment on a larger scale with 

their creative ideas. 

During the first two terms of our A Level courses, 

you will participate in a series of workshops to 

allow you to explore our wide range of facilities 

and broaden your technical skills and visual 

understanding of different creative techniques. This 

will also help you to build an impressive portfolio of 

work. Our teaching staff will spend time discussing 

your personal ambitions and tailor the subject 

matter of your work towards your own interests as 

much as possible. 

Assessment of the course is by two components: 

a personal investigation (60%) and externally set 

assignment (40%). 

Examination board: AQA

PHOTOGRAPHY 

Studying Photography at A Level will allow you 

to explore your personal interests and sense of 

identity through a creative journey. You will develop 

your experience and skills using DSLR cameras 

on manual settings and you will be encouraged 

to explore the boundaries of what is possible with 

digital photography - with an emphasis on finding 

your personal creative ‘voice’ whether through 

commercial or fine art outcomes. 

During the course, you will explore various forms 

of camera-less photography using light sensitive 

media and experiment with different styles of 

photography including portraiture; landscape, 

still life, documentary and fashion photography;

design or engineering. 


This course is ideal for students wishing to pursue 

degree courses and careers in art and design, 

architecture, engineering, as well as product, 

fashion, set, exhibition and interior design. 

BIOLOGY 

Biology has expanded enormously in the last four 

decades, from the study of molecules and DNA to 

ecosystems and artificial intelligence. Biologists 

are trying to solve significant challenges including 

disease and antibiotic resistance, climate change, 

food production and genetic technologies. 

This course is delivered through a wide range of 

teaching methods by an enthusiastic and dedicated 

team of biologists. Our practical work is regarded 

as exceeding expectations by the exam board. Class 

sizes are small and you will work in small groups or 

independently with all the necessary resources to 

develop your biological knowledge. 

The topics covered during this course include 

biological molecules; cells; organisms and their 

environment; genetic information and variation; 

energy transfer; organisms responding to change; 

genetics, populations and ecosystems; and the 

control of gene expression. You will be assessed 

through three written papers at the end of the 

course based on these topics. 

We set high expectations that allow our students 

to achieve their full potential in a friendly and 

supportive environment and we will challenge 

you every step of the way. There are lots of 

opportunities for you to get involved in a wide range 

of national competitions, field trips, science events 

and university visits as part of your studies. 



Biology holds academic weight in university 

applications and it opens exciting opportunities 

in both science and non-science careers due to 

the wide-ranging knowledge and transferable 

skills it provides. Many of our students go on to 

read Biology-based subjects at university such 

as medicine, dentistry and veterinary science. We 

will guide you through the UK Clinical Aptitude 

Test (UKCAT) and Bio Medical Admissions Test 

(BMAT) examinations to ensure that you have every 

opportunity to fulfil your ambitions. 

9

BUSINESS 

Studying Business at A Level develops the skills and 

attitudes that underpin innovation, creativity and 

enterprise. 

Our Business Studies Department comprises 

teachers from different commercial backgrounds 

including banking, accounting and human resources, 

who apply their experiences in lessons to help 

provide a real world context to business theory. 

We use a wide range of teaching methods 

that will enable you to develop commercial 

awareness. Through contemporary case studies 

and current business news items, we bring to life 

the complexities of UK and global business. All 

students take part in the national Tycoon in Schools 

competition: in previous years our students have 

been awarded start-up loans from the Peter Jones 

Foundation on the strength of their business plans. 

You will benefit from participating in Student 

Investor, field trips to commercial organisations 

and guest lectures from a wide range of business 

professionals. 

Through independent learning projects, we foster a 

spirit of enquiry and a critical approach to thinking 

about business problems. You will learn how to 

evaluate alternative solutions to problems in the 

face of uncertainty and the importance of evaluating 

outcomes and learning from mistakes. 

The course covers the core themes of marketing 

and people, managing business activities, business 

decisions and strategy, and global business. You will 

be assessed through three written exams at the end 

of the course. 

Examination board: Edexcel 


This A Level will help prepare students for a 

career in business, which may stretch across any 

sector or industry. Higher education and career 

options are therefore varied and include areas 

such as management, marketing, human resources, 

accounting and finance. 

CHEMISTRY 

Chemistry is everywhere – medicines, the 

environment and new smart materials are just 

three examples. Increasingly, an understanding of 

chemical principles is becoming vital to explain and 

improve the world we live in. 

You will study Chemistry in a range of different 

contexts, through theory and practical assessments 

which together convey the excitement of 

contemporary chemistry. Our A Level Chemistry 

course is taught in small groups, providing each 

student with individual attention, tailored feedback 

and additional support where needed. Theory 

and ideas are introduced in a spiral way with 

topics introduced in an early part of the course 

reinforced later. There is a particular emphasis on 

an investigational and problem–solving approach to 

practical work. 

During the two year course, students study elements 

of life: developing fuels, elements from the sea, 

the ozone layer, medicines, the chemical industry, 

polymers and life, oceans, developing metals and 

colour by design. The course is assessed in three 

exams taken at the end of Year 13. Throughout 

the course, you will carry out a range of practical 

experiments which are assessed and reported 

separately to the A Level grade as a practical 

endorsement. 

Examination board: OCR Chemistry B (Salters) 


A thorough understanding of Chemistry is a vital 

foundation for many university courses including 

engineering, medicine and pharmacy. Chemistry 

is also highly regarded by law degree course 

providers, where the use of precise definitions and 

accurate techniques taught in Chemistry are vital. 

One of the most challenging (and rapidly growing) 

areas of science is that of our environment and a 

firm understanding of the principles of Chemistry 

will be necessary if we are to work on the problems 

posed by human impact on this environment. 

1 0

COMPUTER SCIENCE 

Computerisation is governing increasing parts of our 

daily lives. Our Computer Science A Level course 

is a practical subject in which you will apply the 

academic principles learned in the classroom to realworld 

systems. It is an intensely creative subject that 

combines invention and excitement, problem solving 

and programming, and it will encourage you to look 

at the natural world through a digital prism. 

We use a variety of teaching methods throughout 

the course, including practical programming 

activities, presentations, field and university trips 

and, through scaffolded-tasks, you will develop a 

mastery of the subject. 

You will begin the course by learning the 

fundamentals of Computer Science: the internal 

working of the central processing unit, data 

exchange, software development, data types and 

legal, moral, cultural and ethical issues associated 

with the subject. In the second year, you will 

study computational thinking, how computers 

and programs can be used to solve problems and 

produce algorithms in order to describe and solve 

problems. 

There are two written examinations at the end of 

the course and you will complete a programming 

assignment in Year 13, where you will apply the 

principles of computational thinking to a practical 

coding programming task of your choice. 

Examination board: OCR 


The skills of Computer Science A Level graduates 

are highly prized by a range of industries and 

sectors and students benefit from a high level (90%) 

of employment (Graduates in the Labour Market: 

2017 ONS). This subject could also lead to careers 

in defence, engineering, technology, medicine, 

multimedia and IT. 

DRAMA & THEATRE 

Drama & Theatre helps students pursue their 

interests and skills in a range of practical drama 

elements including acting, directing and technical 

design. During this course, you will gain a thorough 

understanding of how theatre and plays are created 

and performed. We use a variety of teaching 

methods and much of the course is delivered in our 

specialist performing arts facilities. 

You will have the opportunity to get involved in a 

wide range of workshops with professional touring 

companies, visit London and local theatres and help 

lead whole school performances, as well as creating, 

developing and performing in your own pieces of 

work. There are opportunities to develop technical 

skills, alongside our technician, as part of our 

theatre productions, and to lead our Senior School 

Drama Club, in which our A Level students facilitate 

workshops and impart their skills and experience to 

our younger children. 

As part of the course, you will study five texts 

over two years and devise further material for 

performance examinations. The written component 

of this qualification is highly analytical and 

welcomed by universities. 

Examination board: Eduqas 


This course can lead to a range of exciting career 

paths in performing arts. Many of our A Level 

students have gone on to study vocational courses 

at Loughborough University, the Academy of Live 

and Recorded Arts, Drama Centre London, Guildhall, 

Italia Conti and Fourth Monkey. The course also 

complements a range of A Level subjects and 

is useful in building confidence and improving 

presentation skills that are valuable in most careers. 

1 1

ECONOMICS 

Our A Level Economics course involves lively 

discussion and debate in lessons as we analyse the 

current economic climate through the news and 

live data to develop an understanding of economic 

theories and the interrelationships between micro 

and macro economies. 

Because many economic problems have more 

than one solution, you will learn how to evaluate 

information for its relevance and quality. In addition, 

you will become proficient in using quantitative 

methods effectively across a range of problems and 

learn how to apply economic reasoning to policy 

issues in a critical manner. The insights this provides 

are powerful and can help make sense of some of 

the challenges facing societies today. 

We use a range of engaging teaching methods, 

including class discussion, group work, workshops 

and simulation games, such as Student Investor, 

that allow you to acquire deep subject knowledge 

and to develop a range of interpersonal and critical 

thinking skills. Our Economics Society helps prepare 

you for national essay writing competitions and the 

Bank of England challenges. 

To inspire and broaden your horizons further, we 

have a programme of specialist guest speakers and 

field trips, which include visits to the City of London, 

and we run extension classes for those applying to 

Oxbridge. 

At the end of this two-year course, you will be 

assessed through three written papers on markets 

and market failure, the national and international 

economy, and economic principles and issues. 



Economics is a subject that is well respected by 

employers in both the public and private sectors 

and universities. Careers related to Economics 

include accountancy, banking and finance, business, 

consulting and management. 

ENGLISH LITERATURE 

English Literature is a very popular A Level subject 

at Embley. During the course, you will enjoy a wide 

range of prose, poetry, and drama and, through 

close critical analysis and group discussion, learn 

to read critically, analyse, evaluate and undertake 

independent research: all valuable skills for higher 

education and beyond. Regular theatre trips are 

arranged in order to support the texts and to allow 

for alternative interpretations, and a range of TV 

and film interpretations are studied alongside the 

reading. 

In Year 12, you will study a Shakespeare play, an 

anthology of poetry and two prose texts while 

considering the presentation of ‘Love through the 

Ages’. While in Year 13, you will hone your critical 

thinking skills and, following an independent reading 

path, you will carry out a critical study of texts 

across time – be it the Gothic genre, satire and 

dystopia or representations of race and ethnicity, 

for example. The course is assessed by two written 

papers and a 2500 word essay. 

What could be better than learning about the lives, 

loves, hopes and jealousies of people, both real 

and fictional, throughout the ages? Understanding 

the methods used by writers to make political, 

social and historical comments about the world as 

they see it is a great foundation for understanding 

humanity in general. 



English Literature remains one of the most 

prestigious subjects to study and can lead to a 

wide range of career opportunities, including: 

journalism, advertising, creative writing, teaching, 

law, broadcasting, public relations and politics. 

More broadly, an enthusiasm for literature, added 

to an understanding of communication and human 

behaviour, will be invaluable, whatever path you 

choose to follow.

FRENCH 

Studying a Modern Foreign Language at A Level 

can open up a wealth of new opportunities and 

experiences. French A Level builds on the core skills 

of listening, reading, writing and speaking gained 

through GCSE. During this course, you will develop 

a deeper understanding of French in a variety of 

contexts and genres, and learn to communicate 

confidently, clearly and effectively in French for a 

range of purposes. 

Our lessons are largely taught in French and our 

small class sizes mean that you will quickly develop 

your oral fluency and confidence, with individual 

guidance given in every lesson and plenty of 

opportunities for pair work, group discussions and 

lively debates. 

As part of the course, you will study a wide range of 

topics including social issues and trends; political, 

intellectual and artistic culture; immigration and 

multicultural societies; and the Arts, literature and 

history - such as the work of author Albert Camus 

and the occupation of France during the Second 

World War. 

As well as textbooks, we use newspaper articles, 

magazines, books, online resources and study trips 

which provide you with plenty of opportunities to 

immerse yourself in the language. 

At the end of this two-year course, you will 

be assessed through three exams: two written 

assessments and an internally conducted and 

externally assessed speaking paper. 



Our students have gone on to study French at a 

number of Russell Group universities including the 

University of Cardiff and Kings College, London. 

The skills and qualifications that are gained from 

studying a language at A Level are incredibly 

important tools and French can be combined with 

and complement many courses at university. With 

the globalisation of the world economy, many 

businesses are keen to employ students who can 

speak a second language to a high level. 

GEOGRAPHY 

This is an opportunity to study a fascinating, everchanging 

and valuable subject: Geography is a 

multidisciplinary subject that stands astride the Arts 

and Sciences and will provide you with the ability to 

gain invaluable skills that employers are increasingly 

looking for. 

We study the Cambridge International Exam 

Board because it enables our students to choose 

a diverse range of physical and human geography 

topics that are intrinsically interesting and relevant 

in today’s changing world. You will study issues 

such as climate change, coastal erosion, volcano 

management and population change, and gain 

essential transferrable skills such as being able to 

articulate well-informed opinions, suggest new 

ideas and provide evidenced argument on a range 

of issues. Through classroom and fieldwork, the 

Geography you study will be brought to life. 

You will be encouraged to develop an enquiring 

mind, to investigate and be proactive in your 

learning. We are always here for support, but we 

seek to develop the confidence of each student and 

their ability to become independent learners. At 

the same time, the detailed subject knowledge that 

we provide enables our students to reach the top 

grades, with many students choosing to continue 

their enjoyment of Geography at university level and 

beyond. 

Our teaching staff provide outstanding subject 

knowledge, clear guidance and abundant energy for 

the duration of the course. All we ask is for you to 

work hard, aim high, ask questions and continue to 

search for answers, now and in the future. 

Examination board: Cambridge International 


Some of our past A Level students have gone on 

to lead successful careers, such as in the field of 

meteorology, chasing tornadoes in Tornado Alley, 

Oklahoma; working for the Environment Agency 

as a hydrology, flood risk and drainage engineer; 

and developing sustainable energy for a key energy 

company. Geography therefore provides many 

different pathways. With a multitude of transferable 

skills, geographers are eminently employable. 

1 3

HISTORY 

A Level History will enable you to study a fantastic 

range of engaging topics covering British and world 

history. It will ignite a passion for the past, as you 

study complicated historical questions in great 

depth. Topics focus on a mixture of political, social, 

economic and cultural history, which will help you 

see patterns and trends in history and to recognise 

the impact of past events on today’s complex 

societies. 

This A Level is gained through coursework and 

assessment papers. In Year 12, you will study 

the early Stuarts and the origins of the Civil War 

(1603 - 1646); the execution of Charles I and the 

Interregnum (1646 – 1660); and the USA in the 19th 

century: westward expansion and Civil War (1803 

- c.1890). In Year 13, you will learn about China and 

its rulers (1839 - 1989) and complete a 4000 word 

essay on an area of your own interest. Our most 

recent student essay topics have been wide ranging, 

including the reasons for Henry VIII’s break with the 

Catholic church, the French resistance in the Second 

World War, the role of the Suffragettes in women 

winning the vote one hundred years ago and the 

reasons for the failure of the prohibition of alcohol in 

1920s America. 

By studying History, you will develop a wide range 

of essential skills which will be indispensable in your 

future studies. You will become an analytical, critical 

thinker and well informed decision maker, as well as 

a highly literate, persuasive communicator. 

Progress is supported by regular help sessions 

and students are invited to attend A Level History 

revision conferences. 



A Level History students will find all areas of study 

and all career avenues open to them. Previous 

students have gone on to study degrees in history, 

law, journalism, philosophy, politics and economics, 

languages and science. History qualifications are 

highly regarded and graduates work in a variety 

of industries including the media, law, education, 

politics, international development and charity work. 

MATHEMATICS 

Mathematics is recognised as a rigorous A Level and 

it is held in very high regard by universities. It is a 

subject that has wide application and complements 

many other subjects, including Physics, Chemistry, 

Biology, Geography, Psychology, Economics and 

Business Studies, which all use some form of 

Mathematics. 

Our Mathematics teachers come from a wide range 

of professional fields. We have a former engineer 

teaching mechanics, a former data analysist 

teaching statistics and teachers who studied Pure 

Mathematics at universities including Oxford 

and Cambridge. The insights of our Mathematics 

Department into how our curriculum in the 

classroom can apply to careers enriches the lessons 

and inspires our students to study. 

You will be stretched beyond the classroom with 

lectures by inspiring individuals in their field through 

our links with some of the UK’s leading universities 

and at our annual Embley Women in Mathematics 

Conference. There are opportunities for you to 

explore an area further through an Extended Project 

in Mathematics and we will provide additional 

revision support for entrance exams such as STEP 

(the Cambridge entrance exam), MAT (the Oxford 

entrance exam) and SATS (the US entrance exam). 

You will study pure Mathematics, statistics and 

mechanics, with the course examined at the end of 

Year 13 with three papers: two on pure Mathematics 

and one on applied topics. 



On leaving school with A Level Mathematics, 

students open themselves up to a wide range of 

opportunities in areas such as finance, engineering, 

computing, programming, architecture, research, 

medicine and more. The course is the basis for a 

multitude of degree courses and the skills gained 

during the course are core to many career paths.

FURTHER 

MATHEMATICS 

Further Mathematics provides an enjoyable, 

rewarding, stimulating and empowering experience. 

It is a challenging qualification, which both extends 

and deepens knowledge and understanding beyond 

A Level Mathematics, with greater depth and new 

content usually taught at degree level. Our specialist 

Mathematics teachers have vast experience on how 

to guide you through this exciting and challenging A 

Level. 

We hold our Further Mathematicians in high esteem. 

They are ambassadors for the subject across the 

school. This includes working with our Prep School 

to challenge our talented Mathematicians in Year 

5 and 6, leading our Royal Institution Mathematics 

Masterclasses, clubs and supporting Mathematical 

events in school. 

Further Mathematics contains two pure Mathematics 

modules and two applied modules. As a study 

group, you will choose the applied modules. This 

will be either further mechanics, further statistics 

or decision Mathematics (algorithms linked to 

programming). 



Further Mathematics is required by a number of 

universities offering Mathematics degrees and it is 

beneficial for degrees in Physics, Computer Science 

and Engineering. 

MUSIC 

Studying A Level Music will allow you to expand 

your musical repertoire, develop a deeper 

appreciation of what you hear and discover how 

elements of music work together as you compose 

and perform your own work. 

You will explore a variety of musical genres and 

discover what inspires musicians and how they 

develop techniques for practice and performance. 

You will use our professional recording studio, which 

has specialist music software including Cubase and 

Logic Pro for producing studio based compositions, 

and Sibelius to score creations. 

You will direct and organise your own ensembles 

and prepare performances for the many musical 

events that occur throughout the school. These 

include live performances in Romsey Abbey, our 

Musical and Performing Arts Showcase events, 

regular lunchtime recitals and concerts. In addition, 

there are many varied groups and ensembles for you 

to take part in, including Orchestra, Jazz Band, Flute 

Choir, Rock Band and Choir. 

The course is assessed in three parts: performing, 

composing and listening/appraising. 



Studying Music at university can lead to varied 

pathways, such as performance, composition, 

musicology, ethnomusicology, sound engineering, 

conducting and teaching. It is also common to find 

music graduates in consultancy, finance, banking, 

music therapy and the legal profession because of 

the valuable skills that Music graduates have. 

1 5

MUSIC TECHNOLOGY 

In Music Technology you will develop the skills, 

knowledge and understanding needed to compose, 

sequence, record, analyse and produce music. The 

key focus of the course is mastery of the different 

disciplines within Music Technology. 

You will learn to understand the science behind 

sound and apply your understanding through 

professional standard multi-track recordings made 

in our purpose built music studio. Musical listening 

and appraising skills will be developed through the 

study of the history of music and you will apply your 

knowledge through composing in particular styles 

or to set briefs. 

As well as the mixing and mastering process of 

the multi-track recording, you will learn advanced 

Logic Pro X editing and manipulation skills and 

processes which are applied through sequencing 

and composition work. 

Our Music Technology students are encouraged 

to use our recording studios outside lesson time 

to develop skills, complete recording tasks, mix 

and master their work. You will be encouraged to 

develop instrumental skills, to enhance your musical 

ability and understanding and apply your technical 

skills at the school’s live performances, recitals and 

concerts.

progress to degree courses, such as the Tonmeister 

degree at the University of Surrey, Music Production 

at Leeds College of Music, Music Production at 

Huddersfield University, Live Sound Engineering 

at ACM and Music Technology at Birmingham 

Conservatoire. Career opportunities may include 

sound engineering, music production, teaching, 

composing for film and media, music journalism and 

music software development. 

PHYSICAL EDUCATION 

Physical Education (PE) is a subject that will 

motivate and inspire you due to its diverse and 

wide range of topics. You will study a variety of 

units that are delivered in depth by experienced 

and dedicated sports coaches. Whether you have a 

passion for physiology or psychology, biomechanics 

or the history of sport, at Embley you will find your 

interests are encouraged and challenged. 

Your ability to analyse and interpret key factors on 

sport performance will be at the forefront of your 

studies, with much of the content being taught 

around your own sporting experience to maximise 

your learning and understanding. You will learn 

to think critically, evaluate and analyse your own 

approach, whilst reflecting on regular feedback for 

improvement. 

You will have the opportunity to take part in a 

selection of fieldtrips, such as fitness testing 

workshops at leading universities as well as 

historical tours at famous sporting sites such as 

Twickenham and Lords. These trips are carefully 

structured to supplement the course content 

and provide our students with live and practical 

experience of their exam topics. 

You will be assessed at the end of the two-year 

course by means of a practical assessment and 

written examination. 



A Level Physical Education is an excellent base 

for a university degree in sports science, sports 

management, healthcare or exercise and health. 

It can also complement further study in Biology, 

Human Biology, Physics, Psychology, Nutrition and 

Sociology. 

1 6

PHYSICS 

People with a background in Physics are needed 

more than ever to monitor climate change and find 

sustainable ways of generating electricity. We also 

need more engineers to work out how to save water, 

improve the world’s food supply, make travel more 

environmentally-friendly and recycle waste on a 

large scale. 

At Embley, our dedicated teachers, high 

expectations and small class sizes enable all 

students to perform to the best of their ability. The 

well-equipped department brings theories to life 

and you will find out for yourself how things are 

related. A great emphasis is placed on practical 

work and learning through doing. Topics are always 

related back to the real-world and these come to life 

through our many trips, including a visit to CERN, 

and attendance at inspiring lectures and workshops 

at leading universities. 

The qualification builds on prior knowledge, 

understanding and processing skills gained from 

GCSE Science. You will already be familiar with 

many of the topics that you will study, including 

forces, waves, radioactivity, electricity and 

magnetism. At A Level, you will look at these 

areas in more detail and find out how they are 

interconnected. You will also learn how to apply 

Mathematics to real-world problems and explore 

new areas, such as particle physics. 

You will sit final assessments at the end of the 

second year of the course and this will comprise 

three written examinations. Practical and data 

analysis skills will be tested during these exams. 



A Level Physics is an important qualification in a 

range of careers, including technology and science. 

It is useful for medical and veterinary careers and 

is a qualification which is welcomed in law, banking 

and accountancy, since a good A Level grade 

demonstrates a student’s analytical and problem 

solving skills and mathematical competencies. 

POLITICS 

Politics is the study of power. Who gets what, 

why and how? There is no better time to be 

thinking about this, with all the changes taking 

place in the way we are governed nationally and 

internationally. Who really holds the power to 

make policy? Does our electoral system create the 

strongest governments? Are referendums the most 

democratic way to make decisions? 

You will cover a broad range of topics and develop 

skills including critical analysis, problem solving 

and debate. You will analyse the politics of the UK 

and USA and explore the foundations of political 

thought, looking at liberalism, conservatism, 

socialism, anarchism and feminism. 

In addition to independent study and group 

discussions, we encourage you to join our Model 

United Nations (MUN) to discuss the challenges 

facing the world, learn about the work of the United 

Nations and debate global issues including climate 

change, conflict and human rights. 

Our Politics Department will help equip you with 

a political literacy and confidence to question and 

shape the challenges of the international world. 

They share their knowledge and passion to help 

students develop a mastery in the subject. 

Assessment is by three exams containing short 

answer, source based and essay questions. 



Politics can be taken as a joint degree with subjects 

like History, Philosophy, Economics or Business, or 

as part of a combined Social Science degree. In 

addition, Politics is a good A Level for those wanting 

to follow international relations, public policy, 

American studies or international development. 

1 7

PSYCHOLOGY 

Psychology involves studying and exploring human 

behaviour and what drives it. It is one of the newest 

science subjects with its research having been 

developed within a very recent time-span and new 

ideas are always coming forward in the media to 

develop learning. 

You will play an active role in lessons, with plenty 

of opportunities to discuss issues in small groups 

and explore the latest research developments 

to illustrate and strengthen arguments. As well 

as being an active learning experience, you will 

improve your skills in note taking, analysis and 

evaluation of psychological research. 

In the first year of this course, you will study social, 

cognitive and biological psychology and learning 

theories (behavioural psychology). Alongside each 

topic you will participate in a practical research 

exercise, gathering data, analysing it and presenting 

it via a report format. This practical research 

exercise must adhere to ethical principles in both 

content and intention. While in your second year, 

you will study clinical psychology along with 

criminological, child or health psychology. Research 

methods, issues and debates will be studied for each 

unit and you will benefit from the drop-in support 

offered by the Psychology Department. 

You will have the opportunity to join field trips to 

bring your studies to life, including visits to the 

London Freud Museum, Bethlem Royal Psychiatric 

Hospital in London and to psychological exhibitions 

in London. 

There are three examination papers, each of two 

hours, at the end of this two-year course. 



Psychology is a science and is recognised as such by 

many academic institutions. It has links with many 

academic areas, such as psychology of business, 

sport, education and criminal (forensic) psychology. 

It is useful for any career that involves working with 

people such as the police, medical professions, 

businesses of all kinds and in any profession where 

knowledge of the workings of the brain would be 

useful, for example, performance related careers, 

teaching or sport. 

RELIGIOUS STUDIES 

Religious Studies covers much more than just 

a history of religion. Equally important are 

philosophical and ethical ideas and you will study 

the theories of people such as Plato, Descartes, 

Nietzsche and their colleagues and formulate your 

own responses as part of this course. 

Our experienced team of teachers combined with 

small class sizes, highly engaging and interactive 

lessons and outstanding levels of support, lead to 

excellent outcomes for our students. 

You will have the opportunity to attend universitystyle 

A Level Lecture Conferences in London as 

well as attend seminars at a variety of leading 

universities. Our Religious Studies Department has 

a well-established history of regular trips to Prague, 

Krakow and Auschwitz, and Berlin and in 2020 there 

is a trip to Rome to investigate its cultural heritage, 

art and historic architecture. At school, you will be 

encouraged to join the Senior Debating Team and/or 

the PPE (Philosophy, Politics & Economics) Society. 

You will study three key components in the course: 

the philosophy of religion, the study of Ethics and 

the study of key concepts within the Development 

of Christian thought. Knowledge and understanding 

are externally assessed in three two hour papers at 

the end of the course. 



Studying Religious Studies at A Level helps develop 

the critical skills necessary for a host of career 

options, including public services, journalism, 

media, medicine or nursing, teaching and the 

travel industry. At university, this qualification links 

well with the Arts, Humanities or Social Sciences 

and it is a well-respected qualification within all 

higher education settings, including Russell Group 

universities. 

1 8

SPANISH 

Studying a Modern Foreign Language at A Level 

can open up a wealth of new opportunities and 

experiences. Spanish A Level builds on the core 

skills of listening, reading, writing and speaking 

gained through GCSE. During this course, you 

will develop a deeper understanding of Spanish 

in a variety of contexts and genres, and learn to 

communicate confidently, clearly and effectively for 

a range of purposes. 

Our lessons are largely taught in Spanish and our 

small class sizes mean that you will quickly develop 

your oral fluency and confidence, with individual 

guidance given in every lesson and plenty of 

opportunities for pair work, group discussions and 

lively debates. 

As part of the course, you will study a wide range of 

topics including: social issues and trends; political, 

intellectual and artistic culture; immigration and 

multicultural societies; and the Arts, literature and 

history - such as the Spanish Civil War and magic 

realism in Latin-American literature. As well as 

textbooks, we use newspaper articles, magazines, 

books, online resources and study trips which 

provide you with plenty of opportunities to immerse 

yourself in the language. 

At the end of this two-year course, you will 

be assessed through three exams: two written 

assessments and an internally conducted and 

externally assessed speaking paper. 



Our students have gone on to study Spanish at 

a number of Russell Group universities including 

the University College London and the University 

of Birmingham. The skills and qualifications that 

are gained from studying a language at A Level 

are incredibly important tools and Spanish can be 

combined with and can complement many courses 

at university. With the globalisation of the world 

economy, many businesses are keen to employ 

students who can speak a second language to a 

high level. 

1 9
