Sixth Form Curriculum

The curriculum in the sixth form is based around 'A' level subject choices.

Students will take four of the following subjects at AS level in the lower sixth with eight periods each:

Maths Spanish
Further Maths Latin
Physics Religious Studies
Chemistry Art
Biology Music
English Language Music Technology
English Literature Computing
Business Studies Physical Education
Economics Politics and Government
Geography Classical Civilisations
History History of Art
French Design Technology
German

In the upper sixth they may choose to take three or four of their AS subjects to A-level. In addition all sixth form students have a games afternoon (3 periods)

For timetabling purposes the teaching classes are placed into groups. All classes within a group are taught concurrently so a student cannot belong to two classes in the same group. For 2008-2009, the subject choices for sixth form entry are:
