Information

On this page you will find useful information for your Sixth Form journey which will be added to and updated from time to time. Please take the time to read the different sections as they will help you make the most of your time at the College.

Choice of A Levels

A significant number of very able students fail to gain places at selective universities because they have not chosen the most appropriate subject combination at A level, or equivalent. 

The University of Cambridge runs a practical and informative session, 'The Subject Matters', which focuses on the importance of suitable A Level (or equivalent) subject choices in support of an application to a top university and provides an introduction to the benefits of higher education and the application process.  The session aims to assist students with their decision making and help them access the information they need to make individual, informed A Level choices.
