Choosing your Subjects
Choosing your subjects
There are a wide range of courses on offer in our sixth form and it is important that you select the right courses from the start.
You should choose courses that will allow you to move onto the career or studies you are targeting in the future. Some degree courses require particular A Levels/BTECs and grades, so you need to research this before you start making choices.
It is a good idea to pick subjects that you will enjoy and be successful in. Talk to subject teachers about what is involved and your suitability for their courses. Also talk to older students who are currently studying the courses that you might be interested in.
Gather as much information as you can from the website and prospectus, and listen carefully to the advice offered at your individual interview that you will attend with your parents/carers. All of this will give you information about the best pathway for you.
