A Level
A-level Curriculum
At AS and A2 Level, as at GCSE, we endeavour to tailor the course that each student wishes to follow with his abilities and our timetable.
Sixth Form studies are designed for those with academic aspirations. There is a minimum entry requirement of five GCSE passes at grades A* to C (including English Language and Mathematics) in order to begin AS Level study.
Elizabeth College Sixth Form students are encouraged to select four subjects for study at AS level with most going on to complete three at A2. The majority of boys go on to tertiary study, many at Russell Group Universities, with some choosing to undertake more vocational training or to enter the workplace locally. A programme of careers advice and support is delivered throughout Years 10-13.
Elizabeth College has a partnership with The Ladies’ College at Sixth Form level and this allows us to offer a wide variety of AS and A2 courses, many of which are taught in co-educational classes.
