St Edward's A Level Guide 2026

A LEVEL

The A Level pathway is built upon extensive study, usually of three subjects. This study is complemented by the completion of an Extended Project (detailed on page 8) and helps pupils prepare for study at university and beyond. For a small number of pupils, taking four A Levels is appropriate. Most commonly, those taking four subjects will take Mathematics and Further Mathematics, in addition to two other subjects. If you wish to take four subjects in another combination this is at the discretion of the Sub-Warden Academic and you should arrange to see him as soon as possible to have the process for this explained to you.

Pupils taking the A Level pathway may choose their subjects from the options below:

Art Biology Business Chemistry Classical Civilisations Computer Science Design Drama & Theatre Studies Economics English Literature

French Geography German Greek History History of Art Jewellery Latin Mathematics Further Mathematics*

Music Music Technology Physics Photography Psychology Theology, Philosophy and Ethics (RS) Spanish Textile Design

NB. The programme available may vary depending on demand and timetabling constraints.

*Further Mathematics may be taken only with Mathematics. Further Mathematics is not considered as a discrete subject from Mathematics and so is taken only as a fourth subject.
