Students should choose 3 (or 4) subjects, one from each different Subject Block e.g. A = Biology, B = Psychology etc.

Vocational courses occupy two blocks if they are a Double Award, but only one block if they are a Single Award.

CREATE is timetabled in each block and one block will be on each student's timetable.

For further advice on subject combinations, please contact Mrs Gould or Mr Atkins in the first instance.

*Core maths is an enrichment option equivalent to an AS level. You will need to study 3 other subjects in conjunction. 

If the current blocks do not allow you to select your chosen combination of subjects, or if there is a subject you wish to study that is not listed, please contact Mrs Gould

All courses are offered subject to sufficient demand and staffing availability.
