All A Levels are modular. The AS (Advanced Subsidiary) modules in each subject covered in Year 13 will be examined in that year and will constitute an AS Level (i.e. half an A Level) in that subject.

Students taking a BTEC course will be graded Pass, Merit, Distinction or Distinction* at the end of the two years study.
A2 modules will be taken in each subject in year 14, and these will them combine with the AS to produce a full A Level. AS and A Levels are graded on a scale of A-E.

To give breadth and balance to your Post 16 subject choice we advise the following:

Business Studies cannot be taken with BTEC Business.
Only one from Digital Technology, OCR Technical I.T or Software Systems Development may be chosen.
