Year 13 - A-level/IB/BTEC (2nd year)

A-levels, leadership and preparations for life beyond Epsom… these two years are an exciting time and the pinnacle of everything you’ve worked for, whether you’re moving up from our Fifth Form or joining us from another school. There are around 380 students across the two year groups, which allows everyone to receive tailored individual attention while being part of a lively, diverse community.Academic aspiration is the central focus of Sixth Form studies. We want to inspire you to become inquisitive, independent learners who leave ready to thrive at university and beyond. You will have a personal academic tutor who will work alongside you, monitoring your performance, agreeing targets and helping to ensure the best working practices are followed. You will meet your tutor frequently for one-to-ones but – crucially – you own the process. You will study three Principal Subjects at A-level (four if you choose maths and further maths). These will be supplemented with an option from the Core Curriculum, which provides breadth and develops key skills essential for your future.

You will choose three from the following list:
Art (Fine Art)BiologyBusinessChemistryClassical CivilisationComputer ScienceDesign & TechnologyDrama & Theatre StudiesEconomicsEnglish LiteratureFrenchGeographyGermanHistoryLatinMaths (and Further Maths)MusicPhotographyPhysical EducationPhysicsPoliticsPsychologyReligious StudiesSpanishStudents may also study the Business BTEC Diploma, which is equivalent to two A-levels.

To be considered for a place in our Sixth Form you will need a grade average of 6.5 across all your GCSEs, with at least a Grade 7 in the subjects you wish to study at A-level.

You must have at least Grade 8 for the more technical subjects, such as maths, sciences and modern languages.
