Current Structure
Year 12
• 4 AS subjects (Further Maths 5) with PE and Sx(some students will begin EPQ)
Year 13
• 3, 4 or 5 A2 subjects with PE and Sx(completion of EPQ)
What will change?
A levels are changing from modular to linear
Decoupling of AS and A level- separate, alternative qualifications which have terminal assessments, for AS in Year 12. The As will no longer contribute to the final A level grade
A level in Year 13
Two phases
Phase One September, 2015
• English Language• Physics, Chemistry and Biology• Economics• Sociology and Psychology• History• Art
In addition
• Information being received currently regarding politics and other subjects, not yet mentioned in Phase 1 or 2
• English Literature changed in 2014 to offer Cambridge Pre U qualification (A level equivalent – well received by Russell Group universities)
How will this affect us?
Different options available locally eg three A levelsand an EPQ
CGS• Celebrates breadth in the curriculum• Recognises the need for a transition phase• Wary of change of government
4 Subjects for Sixth Form• 5, if Further Maths chosen
• Offers opportunity to select one subject as an AS
