INTRODUCTION TO
COURSES &
PATHWAYS
When you join us, you will follow one of our pathways:
Higher Vocational Enhanced Facilitated Early Entry
This pathway will help you
build the skills needed for
the world of work, higher
vocational degrees and
professional pathways
including apprenticeships.
We can also support students
who are wanting to join the
forces post 18. This pathway
will give extra support on
building an impressive CV,
gaining work experience and
interview skills to sit alongside
your level 3 qualifications.
Entry Requirements
This pathway makes sure that
whether you have a clear idea
of your future pathway or
not you will collect a range
of experiences, qualifications
and skills that will make
any application stand out.
You will enhance your post
16 education with options
including: EPQ, Core Maths,
and supported time to
continue with music grades
or high level sports, dance or
drama pursuits.
This pathway is for those
students who are considering
courses that require early entry
such as medicine, dentistry and
veterinary science; students
who wish to apply for Oxford
or Cambridge University, or
for other courses that may
have entrance exams or high
entry requirements. This
pathway will ensure you are
completing a suitable range
of qualifications and that you
are building your application
with work experience or
shadowing, entrance exam
preparation, interview practice
and additional reading.
Applications to study with us in September of Year 12 open in November
of Year 11, following our Open Evening. The deadline for applying is
31 January the following year. Whilst we will accept applications after
this date, up to and including the start of Year 12, we regret that we
are unable to make any changes to the Option Blocks to accommodate
student requests after the end January application deadline has passed.
All students entering the Sixth Form to undertake a 3 A level programme must have secured 5
GCSEs at grade 4 or above. If you want to pursue a full L3 BTEC course of study, you need to
have gained 4 GCSE grades at 4 or above. If you achieve a strong grade profile (7/8/9), you may
choose to undertake a programme of 4 A levels. In Maths it is highly recommended at least a 6
is secured on the higher paper due to the demanding nature of this subject.
All students are expected to have achieved a GCSE grade 4 or higher in GCSE English Language
and GCSE Mathematics. Where this has not been secured in Year 11, you will be required to
retake these qualifications as part of your Year 12 Sixth Form programme of study.
