These choices should be confirmed or altered at Year 13 Registration following publication of the GCSE results in August 2026. Careers advice will also be available at that time.  \nAdmission to Sixth Form  \nPupils must study a minimum of 3 AS subjects or equivalent.  \nFor any subject they wish to study, pupils will normally be expected to have achieved at least a Grade B in GCSE at Higher Tier, except where prior study is not a prerequisite. Pupils wishing to study Mathematics at Advanced Level will be required to have obtained at least a Grade A* at GCSE Mathematics or a Grade B in Further Mathematics.  \nTo be admitted into Year 13 pupils must have obtained at least 11 points in their GCSE examinations. For the purpose of calculating an applicant’s score, Grade A* = 4 points, Grade A = 3 points, Grade B = 2 points, Grade C* = 1.5 points and Grade C = 1 point.  \nIf the number of applications exceeds the number of available places, then the following criteria shall apply in the order stated:  \n(i) Places will be allocated in strict rank order of the applicant’s GCSE scores as defined above, those achieving higher scores being allocated places before those with lower scores.  \n(ii) If more than one applicant is eligible for the final place priority will be given to the applicant whose home is closer to the school. (Distance will be measured in a straight line using an Ordnance Survey web distance measurement tool from the candidate’s normal home address to the school’s front gate) .  \nNote:-  \nSixth Form is usually composed of 2 years of study. In the first year (Year 13), pupils study three or four AS subjects which are examined at the end of Year 13.  \nIn the second year (Year 14), pupils continue with three or four A2 subjects which are examined at the end of Year 14. It is also possible to repeat AS units at the end of Year 14.  \nContinuation to Year 14 is usually subject to pupils obtaining at least the equivalent of the grade combination DEE at AS Level.  \nGCSE grades are extremely important since it is BOTH GCSE and AS results which form the basis upon which universities make or withhold offers of places on courses applied for through UCAS (Universities and Colleges Admissions Service). The final A-level qualification is usually a combination of the AS and A2 results and is used by Universities to confirm or reject places offered on undergraduate courses.  \nAttendance and Punctuality  \nWhen writing references, we are often asked for the number of days absence a pupil has recorded in the last two years at school. Attention to punctuality and attendance is therefore vital for all pupils and support from parents and guardians in these areas is expected.  \nThe Next Step  \nAcademic achievement is important when making application to Higher and Further education. However, evidence of broader interests and suitable enrichment experiences are generally beneficial.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nThis booklet contains information about each of the AS/A-level subjects from which you may choose. You will spend a long time studying each of your subjects, so it is well worth taking time to find out all you can about them, before you make your choices. You should:  \n✓ Find out all you can about the kinds of career/courses you might be interested in,  \n✓ Read the relevant pages in this booklet,  \n✓ Talk to pupils already doing the subjects at AS/A-level,  \n✓ Talk to your teachers and the Heads of Department,  \n✓ Talk to your parents,  \n✓ Talk to the Careers Department.  \nDIFFERENCES WITH GCSE  \n✓ There is considerably more study involved in 3 or 4 AS/A-levels than in 9 GCSEs,  \n✓ You have to do more work using your own initiative and independently,  \n✓ You have to apply, analyse and evalu","cbCaipJUa4HFkxMu","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipJUa4HFkxMu","pdf",878255,25,"English","# IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR YEAR 12\n## Admission to Sixth Form\n## Attendance and Punctuality\n## The Next Step\n# INTRODUCTION\n# DIFFERENCES WITH GCSE\n# THINGS TO CONSIDER\n# SUBJECT CHOICE AND UNIVERSITY COURSES/CAREERS","[{\"question\":\"What are the Sixth Form study requirements for Year 13?\",\"answer\":\"Pupils must study a minimum of 3 AS subjects (or equivalent).
