INTRODUCTION  \nThe purpose of this booklet is to explain the sixth form curriculum at Abingdon School for those entering the sixth form in September 2023. It contains general advice as well as specific information for each subject.  \n2. QUALIFICATION FOR THE SIXTH FORM  \nYou will require an overall average of a 6 and a minimum of a 7 to begin A Level courses in that subject (with an 8 in Maths required for those wishing to start with Further Maths A Level) .  \nWith a GCSE 7-9 percentage consistently in the 80s, it should be remembered that the vast majority of Abingdonians sail comfortably over the bar. The required average of a 6 will present few, if any, with a problem especially as a less than ‘6’ performance in one subject can be compensated for by a ‘7+’ achievement in another.  \nPupils who do not reach this level and who wish to be considered for a sixth form place, will be interviewed by the head shortly after the GCSE results are published. You should plan your holiday arrangements accordingly. It remains our strong recommendation that you should see a GCSE 7 as a minimum for beginning an A Level course in that subject, but there is room for negotiation on this if you have a 6 and wish to continue with that subject.  \n3. NEW SIXTH FORM ENTRANTS  \nApplicants for the Abingdon School sixth form from other schools will be asked at interview about the A level subjects they wish to study. See [http://www.abingdon.org.uk/sixth_form_admission/](http://www.abingdon.org.uk/sixth_form_admission/)  \nBursaries which provide financial assistance, are available to those boys whose parents could not otherwise afford the fees. For further information please see [http://www.abingdon.org.uk/bursaries](http://www.abingdon.org.uk/bursaries/ or contact)[/](http://www.abingdon.org.uk/bursaries/ or contact)[ or contact](http://www.abingdon.org.uk/bursaries/ or contact) the Admissions department.  \nNew sixth form entrants must, please, inform the Admissions department of their GCSE results as soon as they are known, in late August (telephone 01235 849041 or email:  \n[admissions@abingdon.org.uk](admissions@abingdon.org.uk)).  \n4. SIXTH FORM SCHOLARSHIPS  \nAcademic scholarships are available on entry to the sixth form from other schools. Boys already at Abingdon will be automatically considered for a sixth-form academic scholarship on the basis of their performance in middle school and at GCSE: there is no need to submit an application.  \nIn addition Art, Design Technology, Drama, Music and Sports scholarships may be awarded on entry to the Sixth form.  \nMore information regarding these scholarships is available from the School website  \n[http://www.abingdon.org.uk/sixth_form_scholarships/](http://www.abingdon.org.uk/sixth_form_scholarships/ or)[ or](http://www.abingdon.org.uk/sixth_form_scholarships/ or) from the Admissions department.  \nArkwright scholarships could be available for pupils who are considering a career in the field of Product Design or E","cbCaivY7WxlDfRUL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivY7WxlDfRUL","pdf",266585,23,"English","# Introduction\n## Qualification for the Sixth Form\n## New Sixth Form Entrants\n## Sixth Form Scholarships\n## Abingdon School Policy on 16-18 Curriculum\n## The Sixth Form Curriculum in Outline\n## Subject Preferences\n## Enrichment Programme\n## Post-18 Education and Training\n## Career Guidance\n## Learning Support\n## Subject Information\n## Exam Boards and Specifications\n## Ancient History\n## Art\n## Biology\n## Business\n## Chemistry\n## Classical Languages: Latin and Greek\n## Computer Science\n## Design and Technology\n## Drama and Theatre\n## Economics\n## English Literature\n## Extended Project Qualification (EPQ)\n## Geography\n## History\n## Mathematics\n## Further Maths\n## Modern Languages: French, German and Spanish\n## Music\n## Physics\n## Philosophy\n## Politics\n## Psychology\n## Religious Studies: Philosophy and Ethics","[{\"question\":\"What grades are required to start A Level courses at Abingdon School?\",\"answer\":\"Students need an overall average of a 6 and a minimum of a 7 to begin A Level courses in that subject.
