Sixth Form Subjects 

Sixth Formers will normally select three subjects to study for A-Level or BTEC when starting Sixth Form. Each subject will have its own entry requirement and you can find these on the Sixth Form Curriculum page. The Head of Departments have also recorded a welcome message for each subject with a brief explanation of what content you will cover when you start in Year 12.
