Study Skills Development  \nStudy skills are integrated through subject teaching and standalone seminars. All students are taught:  \n• Independent learning techniques  \n• Time and workload management  \n• Essay writing and note-taking  \n• Academic reading and research  \n• Presentation and communication skills  \n• Constructive feedback and resilience  \n• Managing stress and self-regulation  \nEPQ students are also taught academic research methodology and referencing (e.g. bibliography, footnotes, appendices) .  \n5. One-Year A Level Programme Designed for:  \n• High-achieving Year 12 students seeking acceleration  \n• Year 13 retake students or those switching subjects  \n• International students with equivalent qualifications  \n• Students with interrupted schooling  \nThese intensive courses cover the full A Level in one academic year, with additional subject-specific support.  \n6. LSI Foundation Programme  \nThe LSI Foundation Programme is a Level 3 academic qualification designed to prepare international students for university entry in the UK and globally. It offers flexible subject combinations, rigorous academic preparation, and guaranteed progression support.  \n6.1 Structure and Pathways  \n• Delivered over one academic year (32–36 weeks)  \n• Students choose 3 core academic subjects from a choice of 18  \n• Each subject is taught 4–5 hours per week  \n• All students also study:  \no English for Academic Purposes (EAP)– 5 hours/week  \no Careers Education and PHSE – 1 hour/week  \n6.2 Subject Options  \nBiology, Business, Chemistry, Chemistry with Data Booklet, Creative Writing, Cultural Studies, Data Science and AI, Economics, English Literature, Financial Trading, History, International Relations, Law, Marketing and Branding, Mathematics, Media Studies, Physics (with or without Data Booklet), Psychology, Sociology, Visual Arts  \nEach subject has:  \n• Defined learning outcomes","cbCaipMYOdm520wQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipMYOdm520wQ","pdf",260759,"English","# Context\n# Curriculum Aims\n# Two-Year A Level Programme\n# Study Skills Development\n# One-Year A Level Programme\n# LSI Foundation Programme\n## Structure and Pathways\n## Subject Options\n## Delivery Mode\n## English for Academic Purposes (EAP)\n## Academic Progression and Recognition\n## Assessment and Progress Monitoring","[{\"question\":\"Who is the curriculum policy for and what student age range does it cover?\",\"answer\":\"It covers students aged 15 to 19 and above, including mature and international students, including those enrolled in GCSE and A level pathways.\"},{\"question\":\"What flexibility is offered within the A Level programme structure?\",\"answer\":\"Students usually take three subjects across two years, with options to take four A Levels, or combinations such as two A Levels or AS plus EPQ, and enrichment routes like EPQ or STEP Mathematics.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the LSI Foundation Programme delivered, and are online options available?\",\"answer\":\"It is delivered entirely in-person at the London campus.
