Sixth Form Choices at Teddies

WHY CHOOSE A LEVELS? Why Allows pupils to focus in depth on three subjects. An A Level pathway has the benefit of significant independent study as part of the curriculum.

FAQs Pupils will normally study 3 A Levels, or 4 with Further Maths or Greek. In some exceptional cases pupils may study 4 in another combination. Pupils who feel they are suited to this course of study must approach the Sub-Warden Academic directly to discuss full terms. Pupils should consider how their subject choices complement one another, e.g. learning in Maths will support the learning taking place in Physics. Some university degrees require particular subjects to have been studied at A Level. Pupils are advised to review university requirements if they have a specific course in mind. The majority of A Levels are assessed at the end of the two-year course through examinations.

For some subjects the specific A Level course might be more suited to, or attractive to, a particular pupil’s interests.
