Choosing your Subjects
At Lord Lawson Sixth Form we take pride in the wide range of courses on offer. It is important that you select the right courses from the start. For some of people, they have a clear career they wish to work towards, in this case research university / apprenticeship / employment qualifications needed ahead of selecting your courses with us.
If you have no clear focus towards a career path, choose the subjects you are passionate about. If you love your subjects, you will continue to achieve success.
