Support and Guidance Study within the Sixth Form provides privileges and opportunities coupled with an enhanced responsibility as a senior member of the school community. A core challenge in starting your Sixth Form studies will be adjusting to the increased responsibility you will have for managing your studies, in addition to the challenge of developing and honing your independent learning skills and habits. You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be left to your own devices, but you will be expected to rise to the challenge. You will benefit from both academic and pastoral support during your studies and you and your parents will be regularly informed of the progress you are making in learning. Upon starting your courses, a fortnightly induction session will support your acquisition of key learning habits and a mindset for learning. In addition to your Form Tutor you will benefit from the wider Sixth Form team including the Head

of Sixth Form, and a Sixth Form Pastoral Administrator. The Sixth Form Study Centre is managed by a team of dedicated Sixth Form Learning Mentors who work closely with our students to support their sustained achievement. We hold our Sixth Form students in high regard and maintain very high expectations of them. As a Sixth Form student you will swiftly come to appreciate the privileges of Sixth Form life; you should also be aware of your responsibilities as a senior member of the school community. Our detailed expectations are provided for all students within the Sixth Form Handbook and enrolment form. These are simple and common sense. Few will find difficulty in upholding them.

Entry Requirements Stepping up to Sixth Form study is both challenging and exciting. It requires you to have secured a successful study record and to have a genuine motivation to learn. We wish to remain an open and inclusive Sixth Form; most importantly we wish to see you enrolled on an appropriate course, set for success. Innate curiosity, zest for learning and an appetite for challenge and discovery are always desirable. Students wishing to follow Level 3 courses (BTEC National and AS and A Levels) should have a minimum of 5 A*-C grades in 5 different GCSE subjects (including Maths and English). Evidence shows that students need to have successfully secured a variety of skills, through a range of learning experiences, to successfully meet the challenges of Advanced Level Study.

Our A Level programme acknowledges the challenges that different subjects present. Some are harder than others. If your GCSE passes are mostly C grades, we will advise you to follow courses in which your chances of success are greatly enhanced. Many of our subjects carry additional entry criteria and you are advised to look closely at the Post 16 Curriculum Document 2015 for further guidance on the additional requirements for studying a specific subject. All Students follow four courses of study in Year 12.

Progression into Year 13 Sixth Form students are expected to pass three or more AS subjects in Year 12 before they can progress into Year 13. A pass at AS level is graded from A-E; BTEC Certificates are graded at Distinction, Merit and Pass levels.

A wide range of courses and qualifications We are proud to offer a range of courses of study within the Sixth Form, with the majority of these being GCE AS and A Levels. Some of these are in traditional academic disciplines – the subjects you might have studied at GCSE - English Literature or History, for example; others are non-traditional or vocational subjects such as Economics, Film Studies or Travel and Tourism. Some courses are wholly assessed through examination; many offer some practical or coursework assessment. Most of our students will follow four courses during their two years with us.

Reformed and Unreformed GCE Advanced Levels (AS and A Levels)

All students benefit from a carefully tailored programme which will support their progress as independent learners and responsible citizens. Units of study vary from year to year, but can include Academic Writing skills, BSM: Signal Driving course, Understanding Cultural Diversity and Cooking on a Student Budget.

Unreformed A Levels are made up of two parts. In Year 12 you study AS Levels and these are qualifications in themselves. Following success in your studies at AS Level you will progress into Year 13 and follow A2 courses. These second-year courses ‘top-up’ your AS qualification to become a full A Level. The marks that you are awarded for your AS assessments form half of your A Level.

Level 3 All subjects within the Sixth Form curriculum are Level 3 courses. They provide the opportunity to secure in-depth knowledge and skills in a particular subject and are very valuable for those students looking at going on to university, training or employment.

AS and A Levels are a more traditional route into higher education or university. They can be in traditional academic subjects such as Mathematics and History or in non-traditional and vocational areas such as Business Studies or Film Studies. Between September 2015 and 2017 A Levels are being reformed. In September 2015 only a few subjects will have been reformed. These are Art and Design, Biology, Business Studies, Chemistry, Economics, English Language, English Literature, History, Psychology, Physics and Sociology.

Reformed A Levels are two-year courses and all of your assessments are completed at the end of your two years in the Sixth Form. These courses are mostly assessed through examination only; a few of them have coursework elements, but these usually carry far fewer marks than the examination component. Students following a reformed A Level will still sit AS examinations in Year 12, but the marks from these will not contribute to their final A Level grade. These early examinations enable the school to look closely at your progress and ensure you are set to achieve at the end of two years. As with unreformed A levels, you must pass these AS exams to progress into Year 13. BTEC National Courses These are vocational or work-related courses. Like A Levels, they are Level 3 courses, but provide a more practical approach to learning. They can provide an ideal next step if you have taken BTEC courses in Year 11. Changes to how BTECs are assessed mean that you must pass all assessments within the time provided or you will be unable to complete the course.

Inspiring Leaders and Building Community In addition to your academic studies, we would also like you to benefit from one or more of the enrichment opportunities that we provide each year. Some of these result in accredited qualifications, others in valuable experience. All are centred upon recognising and developing your academic, leadership or community skills. All will be supportive of your personal development and applications to university or employment. Our enrichment curriculum will vary each year, but currently includes the following: !! Extended Project Qualification !! Pre-university Skills course !! Duke of Edinburgh programme !! Community support placement !! Work experience

Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award

Overseas Expeditions

The Duke of Edinburgh award programme is a highly successful venture within the school, whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re starting from scratch or building upon your achievements in main school. The school runs highly successful practice and qualifying expeditions in Snowdonia, and facilitates walking and rowing expeditions. Each year, we are delighted to see Sixth Form students complete their Gold award, culminating in the challenging and exciting expedition to a destination of their own choosing. Upon completion of the award, students may attend the prestigious award ceremony at St Jamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Palace.

The Streetly Academy has a range of international links, including subject based collaboration with international schools and a range of international visits. Students are involved in the fundraising and planning of these trips, developing valuable teamwork and organisational skills. Our July 2015 expedition is to Costa Rica, to work with a local community and complete a variety of challenges in this diverse country.

Choosing the right courses Advanced Level courses progress quickly and are very short. Making confident and informed choices now will support a positive start to your Sixth Form studies in September. We hold our annual Sixth Form Information Evening in the autumn term of Year 11 to support the decision making process. All prospective Sixth Form students have the opportunity to discuss their preferences with a senior member of staff and the Sixth Form team during the autumn term. Being prepared for this discussion is important, so familiarise yourself fully with the courses available, prepare any questions that you have, and begin to think about how your choices will support the duration of your career plans. You will also benefit from the course induction days we hold in July and September. These are designed to support your course choices and continued success with The Streetly Academy. All courses will provide a course handbook to support your preparation for learning over the summer break and throughout the duration of your course. In Year 12, students are expected to study four Level 3 courses. One of these may be discontinued at the end of Year 12 so that students focus their attention on three courses in Year 13. We would suggest that in making your course choices, three courses would be complementary and one would offer a contrast. In making your choices you should consider whether your choices include reformed or unreformed A Levels. Some students will wish to seize the opportunity to include a mix of the two in the knowledge that they will be gaining marks during Year 12 which will count towards their final grade. They will approach the end of Year 13 knowing that some of their marks are already secure. In their reformed courses, they’ll have the opportunity to develop their understanding over a longer period of time, before being assessed through examination. In principle, we would encourage students to achieve a balance between reformed and unreformed courses, though we recognise that not all students will be able to achieve this balance. With a broad range of qualifications and subjects to select from, you might want to consider the following factors when making your choices: !! What subjects or topics are you naturally curious about? !! Which types of subject do you consistently achieve in? !! What plans do you have for a university education, Apprenticeship or employment?

!! Which subjects will support your long-term career plans? !! How do you prefer to learn? !! How do you prefer to be assessed? Through coursework? Through examination? Through performance? There are a number of web-based questionnaires and tools which can help you in identifying subjects and careers which match your strengths, abilities and preferences. We would recommend you looking at: !! The Spartan Test (sacu-student.com/?_id=2779) !! Fast Tomato (www.fasttomato.com) If you are unclear about a specific career, you should consider the broader employment sectors or areas of work where you see yourself working in the future. If you are interested in a studying a specific subject at university we would advise you to look at ‘A Level Requirements For Degrees’ available at our Information Evening or from the Sixth Form Office upon request. In all cases, you should look at the specific requirements for a preferred degree course on the UCAS website http://www. ucas.com/students/coursesearch/

AS and A Level Courses Art and Design AS and A Level (reformed) Previous students have chosen to study Art and Design at AS/A2 to gain access to higher education courses such as architectural design, textile design, and primary teaching amongst other related visual courses. At AS level, you will produce two units of work for assessment. Assessments will be based on your ability to record observations; analyse and critically evaluate sources such as images, objects, artefacts and texts and showing an understanding of meaning and context; develop ideas through sustained investigation, selecting and using appropriate materials and analysing outcomes; and realising your studies in a final piece or pieces. At A Level, students are expected to demonstrate a greater depth of study than at AS.

Assessment: AS – One year course Component 1 - you will be expected to produce a portfolio of work within a specified time period. Weighting – 60% of the AS grade Component 2 – is an externally set assignment which consists of a preparatory period leading to a 10 hour unaided, supervised time where students must produce a finished outcome or a series of related finished outcomes. Weighting - 40% of the AS grade Non-exam assessment (NEA) set and marked by the centre and moderated by AQA during a visit to the centre. A2 – Two year course At A Level, students are expected to demonstrate a greater depth of study than at AS. Component 1 – Personal Investigation. This is a practical investigation supported by a written response of between 1000 and 3000 words. Weighting – 60% of the A2 grade Component 2 – is an externally set assignment which consists of a preparatory period leading to a 15 hour unaided, supervised time where students must produce a finished outcome or a series of related finished outcomes. Weighting - 40% of A-Level grade. Non-exam assessment (NEA) set and marked by the centre and moderated by AQA during a visit to the centre.

Biology AS & A Level (reformed) Biology today is a hugely important subject. Many newspapers and television programmes are passing comment on GM foods, the latest hopes in medicine for cancer, AIDS or asthma sufferers, organ transplantation, cloning, vaccines, the human genome project, the search for life on Mars, why the dinosaurs disappeared, saving a rare species, bringing a mammoth back to life, diet, rain forests, food scares, holes in the ozone layer and feeding the world. The AS and A level Biology course cannot supply answers to all the questions raised. It does, however, provide a background from which to study them, understand and present ideas and hopefully reach an informed viewpoint. A Biology student is able to not only make sense of the information portrayed in the media, but is also in a place to shape the future of the world by further study in any of the above areas. The course involves a study of the main chemicals in the cell, providing an introduction to biochemistry and emphasising how all life on earth follows a similar pattern. The cell itself is studied in detail and then how cells are specialised to form the different organs in animals and plants. Genetics considers the laws governing inheritance and what we know about the structure of the gene, whilst evolution involves some of the great ideas in biology and provides a unifying principle for the subject. There is slightly more emphasis on animals and human health and disease than on the plant kingdom and this seems to reflect the bias shown by many biology students. Biology can be studied with almost any other A Level subject and may lead on to many different careers in science, business and the arts, since it always serves as a valuable A level. It is hoped that this course will give students an interest for life, as well as an important qualification to prepare them for a rewarding career in the 21st century. Biology A is split into six modules: Modules 1 to 4 constitute the stand-alone AS Level qualification; Modules 1 to 6, combined with the Practical Endorsement, constitute the full A Level.

The modules can be summarised as: Module 1: Development of Practical Skills – this module underpins the whole of the specification, and covers the practical skills that students should develop throughout the course. The practical skills in this module are likely to be assessed within written examinations and (for A Level only) within the Practical Endorsement. Module 2: Foundations in Biology – covering concepts required throughout the remaining modules. Module 3 – Exchange and Transport Module 4 – Biodiveristy, Evolution and Disease Module 5 – Communications, Homeostasis and Energy (A Level only) Module 6 – Genetics, Evolution and Ecosystems (A Level only). Assessment: At AS Level: AS Papers 1 and 2 are 1 hour 30 minutes and are short, structured questions, extended answer questions and a multiple choice section. At A Level: A Level Paper 1: 2 hours 15 minutes with short, structured questions, extended answer questions and a multiple choice section. A Level Paper 2: 2 hours 15 minutes with short, structured questions, extended answer questions and a multiple choice section. A Level Paper 3: 1 hour 30 minutes with short, structured questions and extended response. The entry requirements for AS biology are: Double award: one A and one B grade Triple science: an A grade in biology and one B grade from either chemistry or physics

Business Studies AS & A Level (reformed) A Level Business Studies is a long established A Level and one which has seen a great deal of success in recent years. This is not just a subject for those who have taken the subject at GCSE, as it is developed for all students, although it is advisable to consider advice if selecting between A Level and the Subsidiary Diploma. Business Studies examines businesses and how they operate within the current environment, as well as developing strategies to cope with changes in the future. To be able to do this successfully, students will study how businesses carry out various functions; marketing, finance, production, HR and where there is opportunity for improvement. The course also looks at how external influences such as changes in interest rates and exchange rates affect business and, in turn, how businesses might react to these changes. You will evaluate business behaviour from a variety of perspectives using an investigative, problem solving and integrated approach. We plan to operate the WJEC A Level course which includes three exam components, to be taken at the end of Year 13. However, there will also be examinations at the end of Year 12 for an AS qualification, that will not contribute to the final A level grade. The topics covered include Marketing, Finance, Strategy, and Management. In Year 12, we begin the course covering basic concepts which will enable students to understand the broad principles of business and, later in the course, we will develop the basic knowledge gained in Year 12 and use analytical and evaluative skills when developing strategies.

techniques and developing appropriate business strategies. Students need to understand, construct and analyse a range of decision-making models and investment appraisal methods used by businesses to decide on their strategy. Students need to develop analytical skills to investigate business opportunities and problems in a number of different contexts and evaluate a range of quantitative and qualitative data to suggest possible strategic responses from businesses. Students are required to answer questions based on numerical issues such as data analysis, market analysis, sales forecasting, analysing financial and nonfinancial performance, etc. Therefore, a sound numerical ability is required. This exam has numerous materials provided to students to review before having to complete a range of short answer questions and longer evaluative questions. Component 3: Business in a Changing World (35% - 2 hour 30 minute exam at the end of Year 13) This component focuses on how businesses adapt to succeed in a dynamic external environment, where the business world never stands still and there are continuous opportunities and threats to businesses of all sizes. Students will need to understand that regardless of size, businesses now operate in a global marketplace and they need to consider a wide range of external factors that affect their day-to-day activities, decision-making and strategy.

Component 1: Business Opportunities and Functions (35% - 2 hour 15 minute exam at the end of Year 13).

This exam has 3 sections which will integrate the knowledge, understanding and skills developed in all three components to display a holistic understanding of business activity and the environment in which they operate. This examination has numerous essay type questions based on specific scenarios given in the paper.

Collectively, this component focuses on the structure of business and their functions. The two areas covered in this component will give learners an understanding of the important role played by small businesses in the economy and the opportunities that exist for entrepreneurs, as well as the importance of established businesses and not-for-profit organisations in providing goods and services.

Business Studies requires students to have achieved 5 Grade Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or above at GCSE, including GCSE English Language and Maths. The subject blends well with History, Economics and English, where the ability to develop planned written responses is essential. However, in this new course, data analysis will require good levels of mathematical skills as more emphasis is being placed on data interpretation.

The questions in this exam will be based around responding to numerical data and having to complete short, structured questions.

The opportunities resulting from an A Level in Business Studies is that this is a popular route for many courses at university. This is well received with many universities. Finally, the skills used in this subject help students to develop analytical and evaluative skills in many other aspects of their learning, in other subjects at A Level and beyond.

The units covered are:

Component 2: Business Analysis and Strategy (30% - 2 hour exam at the end of Year 13). This component builds on the theory introduced in Component 1. As the title suggests, the emphasis in this component is on understanding and using analytical

Chemistry AS & A Level (reformed) Chemistry is the central science and impacts on all parts of our lives. An understanding of chemistry is necessary to all other sciences from astronomy to zoology. All of the materials used by engineers and technologists are made by chemical reactions and we all experience chemical reactions continuously, whether it be breathing or baking a cake, driving a car or listening to a battery driven MP3 player. Chemistry is concerned with all aspects of molecules, their physical and chemical properties, their composition and structure, their synthesis and use in the 21st century. This course will be of interest to you if you want to study chemistry, medicine, forensic science, biochemistry, pharmacology or related subjects. Studying chemistry gives you an excellent qualification for a wide career choice within science, industry or commerce. A chemistry student is numerate, analytical, and practical and has good problem solving, presentation and communication skills. Jobs are to be found in small, medium and multinational chemical companies as well as in business, banking, accountancy, marketing, advertising, teaching, and the IT sector. We live in an age of chemistry-based technology, and future demands will require chemical expertise in many areas of the chemical, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. There are many different areas you could work in for example; Research and development, Production, Marketing and sales, Management, etc.

Course Structure Chemistry A Level is split into six modules: Modules 1 to 4, constitute the stand-alone AS Level qualification; Modules 1 to 6, combined with the Practical Endorsement, constitute the full A Level. The modules can be summarised as: !! Module 1: Development of Practical Skills â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this module underpins the whole of the specification, and covers the practical skills that students should develop throughout the course.

Design and Technology: Product Design (3D Design) AS & A Level Product Design encompasses a wide range of design disciplines, but is firmly rooted in the skills required to design and make high quality products; products that are fit for purpose, satisfy wants and needs, and enhance our day-to-day lives. The A Level course we offer allows students from a wide range of Design & Technology backgrounds to be successful. It combines the skills needed to communicate your design ideas through sketching, technical drawing, traditional and computer modelling, with a knowledge of Product Design, Resistant Materials, Graphics and Engineering. You will need to have gained a grade C or above in one of these areas at GCSE level to access this course. Students who have attained a grade C or above in both the controlled assessment and in the exam tend to be better able to cope with the demands of this course. During Year 12, you will complete a piece of coursework, which will consist of several practical outcomes accompanied by the supporting written, design and development work. This allows you to demonstrate your ability to investigate a product in depth, to show how creative you can be as a designer, and to evidence your practical skills. This counts towards 50% of the AS grade. At the end of the year, a 2 hour examination covers the theoretical content of the course. At AS, the theory expands on that covered at GCSE, broadening your knowledge and deepening your understanding of the properties of materials, the commercial manufacture of products and the use of IT in industry. This counts towards 50% of the final grade.

During Year 13, the theory focuses on developing your knowledge and understanding of a range of modern design and manufacturing practices and contemporary design issues. The modern designer must have a good working knowledge of the use of ICT and systems and control technology in the design and manufacture of products. They must also be aware of the important contributions of designers from the past and the present day. You will also develop an awareness of the impact of design and technological activities on the environment. Sustainable product design is a key feature of modern design practices. There is a 2 hour exam at the end of Year 13 which counts towards 50% of the final grade. The A2 coursework is an independent design project. Having identified a real problem, you work closely with a client or user group to design and model/make an original and viable solution to their problem, identifying suitable materials and manufacturing processes for its commercial production. This counts towards 50% of the A2 grade. This A Level can lead to a wide range of degree courses and careers; product design, architecture, graphic design, advertising and automotive design to name a few. As a subject, it links well with Art, Business Studies and ICT.

Drama & Theatre Studies AS & A Level The course encourages creative approaches. It offers a mix of theory and practice and covers all aspects of drama and theatre work. The course is assessed by both examination and internal assessment. All students have to perform, and so a real interest in performing and watching others perform is vital. Assessment: The AS course consists of two units and the A2 course consists of a further two units. AS Level: Unit 1 - Exploration of Drama and Theatre This unit introduces students to the content of plays written for the theatre. You will learn how to analyse plays in a variety of ways so that you become familiar with the way written plays can be interpreted for realisation in performance. Unit 2 - Theatre Text in Performance This unit offers students the chance to demonstrate skills in a performance environment. The knowledge and understanding gained during the study of two plays in Unit 1 can now be applied with a view to delivering a performance to an audience.

A Level: Unit 3 - Exploration of Dramatic Performance This unit requires the creation of a unique and original piece of theatre. The knowledge and understanding gained in the AS units can now be applied to a created production. You will be assessed on both the process of creation and the finished product in the form of a performance to an invited audience. Unit 4 - Theatre Text in Context This externally examined written unit requires the detailed study of one set play text and one prescribed historical period of theatrical development. Drama and Theatre Studies enables you to explore a wide range of drama and theatre skills and practitioners, enabling you to grow creatively and imaginatively through your understanding and practice of concepts and performance work. To succeed in this subject you need an enjoyment of theatre, a confident approach to performing, the ability to work as part of a team, the ability to research independently and write analytically about what you do and what you see. It is not necessary to have studied Drama at GCSE, though we would expect you to demonstrate an interest in drama and a commitment to performing. A Level Drama and Theatre Studies creates pathways to further education and to all industries which rely on good communication such as teaching and journalism, as well as those directly involved with theatre and television.

Economics AS & A Level (reformed) A Level Economics has seen record numbers of students in recent years at The Streetly Academy and this offers a new subject for many students who have an interest in the world we live in. The principles of this highly academic A Level are that you will develop a consideration about how the local world that we live in and the wider world is structured and develop economic principles as to how this might be improved. For example, developing views as to whether we should reduce poverty in deprived countries and how this might be done, with consideration to the impact of such choices. We plan to operate the OCR A Level course, which includes three exam units, to be taken at the end of Year 13. However, there will also be examinations at the end of Year 12 for an AS qualification, that will not contribute to the final A Level grade. The economic topics covered are Microeconomics, Macroeconomics and Themes in Economics. In Year 12, we begin the course, covering basic concepts which will enable students to understand why economics exists, and later in the course economic problems will be put before students where they will need to make analytical judgements about how problems should be dealt with. The units covered are: Unit H460/01: Microeconomics 80 marks - 33.3% - 2 hour exam at the end of Year 13. This unit provides an introduction to why economic choices have to be made and the issues which arise from scarcity and choice. Also, this unit will look at the market model, how markets can be efficient and also how they can fail. For example, we will consider why we live in a world where we choose to let people starve and we can throw food away. The questions in this exam will be based around responding to numerical data and having to also complete two essay responses. Unit H460/02: Macroeconomics – 80 marks – 33.3% - 2 hour exam at the end of Year 13. Students are required to answer questions based on issues such as economic policies, supply and demand, and put these issues into a global context. For instance, a student would have to be able to reason how the actions that another country’s government could make an impact on other countries and suggest improved policies.

This exam has some data-interpretation questions, where numerical skills are essential. Also, over half the marks on this paper are based on your completion of two essay questions, which requires an answer written in extended continuous prose. Unit H460/03: Themes in Economics – 80 marks – 33.3% - 2 hour exam at the end of Year 13. This unit focuses principally on the economic concepts and theories covered over the two year course and complete questions about an unseen case study. This will require students to consider the theories and relate them to real world issues, making appropriate suggestions. This is a demanding and challenging paper, based on understanding and interpreting information and applying theories, such as how to improve the situation a country is facing with unemployment or a trade deficit. This examination will involve having to complete complicated data to respond to multiple choice questions and then complete numerous essays on the case study material. Economics requires a high level and range of academic skills and a requirement to have achieved 5 grade B’s or above at GCSE including GCSE English Language and Maths. The subject blends well with History, Business Studies and English due to the ability to develop planned written responses, which is essential. However, in this new course data analysis will require good levels of mathematical skills as more emphasis is being placed on data interpretation. An Economics A Level is well received by many universities. The learning skills encountered in this subject help students in their development of analytical and evaluative skills, which are transferable to other subjects at A Level and beyond.

English Language AS & A Level (reformed) English Language is certainly a subject very well regarded by Higher Education institutions, and because you are studying the thing that you will probably use the most whatever you do in life – your language – it easily complements any educational course you might follow, and provides a new perspective on most conceivable professions. At university, there is a considerable range of English– related courses available, that directly build on one or more aspects of your work at AS and A Level, from creative writing through to speech therapy. However, outside the wider school of English, your knowledge and skills will share ground with the many subjects within the social sciences, and particularly with Psychology, Sociology, and law-related courses. Even further afield it is not difficult to see the value of a sophisticated understanding of English in areas of design, business, computer science – in almost anything you could imagine, really. When you come to begin a career, you will find linguistic study will make you an attractive, skilled and flexible employee in most services and industries. Whether it is the increased insight you can bring to analysing written or spoken language or your ability to control and shape your own communication, abilities of this nature will prove a real benefit to you. Even some of the specific topics you will have studied may find their niche: maybe the language and technology work you have done at AS Level will give you an overview of the impact of technology as you start out as a software designer. Or, perhaps the language acquisition topic will help you get to grips with work in child care and with very young children. You never know, you might even want to start teaching English yourself and passing your ideas on! Students embarking on the course should have passed GCSE English Higher Tier at a Grade B or above.

Law AS and A Level A robust legal system is the foundation of a fair society. If you are interested in concepts like justice and equality, then this GCE A Level course could be very rewarding for you. You might see yourself as a barrister, solicitor or legal secretary. Alternatively, you might want to choose A Level Law because it’s a fascinating course that will help you to develop transferable skills in analysis, critical thinking and precision writing. An A Level in Law can be an important first step in helping you to achieve your goals. Our A Level Law course provides a grounding in the main principles of English and Welsh law and their development. It will give you an understanding of the role of law in today’s society and an awareness of the rights and responsibilities of individuals. Students are inspired during their study of A Level Law, and are motivated by its academic challenge. They often comment that it has become their favourite subject. In addition to learning challenging, substantive law, they enjoy the practical application of the subject, which develops their problem-solving skills and encourages a critical evaluation of material encountered in their everyday lives. These skills are highly regarded by university admissions tutors and prospective employers alike. Indeed, Russell Group universities agree that A Level Law provides a solid foundation for degree-level study, both in Law and across a wide range of subjects. The Faculty of Law at the University of Cambridge writes: ‘While we are aware of the perception by some that studying Law at A Level might be considered a ‘negative’, we are somewhat puzzled by this. The clear view taken here in Cambridge on Law at A Level is a ‘neutral’ one. So taking Law as an A Level subject does not put students at a disadvantage for admission to read Law at Cambridge, nor does it provide an advantage.’ At AS Level, students study two units: The English Legal System, and Sources of Law. Active teaching methods, problem-solving and visits to both courtrooms and the Houses of Parliament contribute to a highly-engaging Year 12 course. In Year 13, the challenge deepens with a focus on Criminal Law, complemented by an in depth paper on a specialised area of criminal law.

Assessment At AS Level, you will study two units: !! Unit 1 The English Legal System (30%, 2 hour exam): focusing on civil courts, criminal courts, criminal process, penal system, the legal profession, lay people and the provision of legal services. !! Unit 2 Sources of Law (20%, 1 hour exam): focusing on where law comes from, including the doctrine of precedent, parliamentary legislation, European Union law and law reform. Upon successful completion of the AS course, you will study a further two examined units in Year 13: !! Unit 3 Criminal Law (30%, 2 hour exam): developing a critical awareness of criminal law in relation to specific crimes and defences. Areas of focus are the principles of criminal liability, attempted crimes, general defences, fatal and non-fatal offences against the person and offences against property. !! Unit 4 Special Study (20%, 1 hour 30 minutes): an area of Criminal Law examined in depth. This is based on prereleased source material provided by the examination board. A Level Law is an academically-demanding subject that is assessed exclusively through examination. We welcome applications from students with at least a B grade in English, and a range of B grades or better in their other GCSE grades.

Sociology AS & A Level (reformed) Sociology is a fascinating way of trying to understand our complex and constantly changing society.

The A Level assesses both AS and A Level topics by three written exam papers taken at the end of the course:

Sociology is not about simply presenting facts about society. Instead, it is about different interpretations of those facts and explanations for why they occur. Sociologists seek to identify patterns and relationships between different parts of society and seek to establish meaning through the study of evidence. Sociology is also concerned with ideas and theories about the nature of society and the individuals in it. A key element of sociology is an attempt to understand our identities and the cultures we live in. Sociology is an inherently interesting subject because it is about all of us and our place in society. It helps you to think beyond the obvious and it helps you to think differently about the world around you. Sociology complements a range of other subjects through the skills of argument, questioning, essay writing and discussion. It is also a very wide-ranging subject because almost anything can be explained sociologically.

Paper 1 – Education with Theory and Methods (2 hours) Paper 2 – Topics in Sociology (2 hours) Paper 3 – Crime and Deviance with Theory and Methods (2 hours). Sociology is an academic subject, and combines especially well with English, Sociology and the Sciences. We welcome students who have achieved at least B grades in GCSE English Language, Mathematics or Science. These entry requirements reflect the analytical, written and logical skills that are essential for success in A Level Sociology. Sociologists are trained to think critically about the world around them and to construct clear and logical arguments supported by appropriate evidence. There are many careers where sociology is an important and useful qualification, including professions such as, journalism, the police and the legal profession.

The AS course includes the study of compulsory topics: Education, Methods in Context, and Research Methods. For the exam, students must then answer a question from each of four topic choices. These are: Culture and Identity, Families and Households, Health, Work, Poverty and Welfare. Students are examined at the end of the course by two written papers: Paper 1 – Education with Methods in Context (1 hour 30 minutes) Paper 2 – Research methods and Topics in Sociology (1 hour 30 minutes). The A level course requires further study of a compulsory topic, Crime and Deviance. Additionally, students choose one more topic from a choice of four. These are: Beliefs in Society, Global Development, The Media, Stratification and Differentiation. At A Level, students will be expected to show more range and depth of knowledge and understanding than at AS Level, together with more highly developed skills in analysis, interpretation and evaluation.

BTEC Level 3 Certificate in Business and BTEC Level 3 Subsidiary Diploma in Business The BTEC Business Certificate and Subsidiary Diploma courses offer students an opportunity to achieve an A Level equivalent without having to complete examinations. This course is 100% coursework based and allows students to learn many of the same business skills, but in a vocational style of learning. The topics covered include marketing, recruitment and basic business principles such as ownership of a firm. We operate this Edexcel course which includes three units to be completed in Year 12 and these units will qualify for the National Certificate, which is an AS equivalent. These units include; Business Environment, Business Resources, and Introduction to Marketing. If continuing the course to Subsidiary Diploma level, which is the full A Level equivalent, the scores from Year 12 units and the following units will contribute to your final grade; Business Communication, Business Accounting and Recruitment and Selection in Business. Students begin the course covering basic business principles which will enable them to understand the key choices made when running a business. The units covered are: The Business Environment Students are to complete this unit which focuses on completing presentations and website designs to inform about real-life business people they have met. Students will report upon business topics and assess how topics such as stakeholders or ownership will impact the firm. Business Resources This unit focuses on the things that are required to make a business successful. This will include areas such as devising a successful recruitment plan and ensuring there is sufficient knowledge about finance to develop a business idea.

Business Communication This unit will see students completing tasks in which they will consider how communication could be improved in a work environment. This will also consider how structures of staff and technology might be used to ensure staff are as effective as can be. Business Accounting Students are required to develop their skills of bookkeeping and record keeping by learning how to understand and make considered recommendations based on a firmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial information. This will include creating documents such as profit and loss accounts and balance sheets. Also keeping accounts records will be a skill developed on this unit. Recruitment and Selection in Business This unit develops on previous knowledge gained in Year 12 units about recruitment. However here the student will have to develop a whole plan as to how to effectively recruit and select an appropriate employee for an organisation. This will consider laws which the student will have to learn, as well as practical considerations such as costs and reliability in recruitment methods used. It is strongly recommended that if you have taken Level 2 BTEC Business that you pursue this route to continue an interest in Business Studies. However, if you have not taken Business at any stage before, this is still a qualification which you might be interested in taking. Indeed, one benefit is that this route allows a sensible balance between having exam and coursework commitments when adapting to the challenges of Sixth Form study.

Introduction to Marketing Students are required to complete tasks which will demonstrate not only an understanding of marketing, but a strategic plan as to how one could market a product successfully. This will involve thought and consideration of a local firm and researched ideas to make improvements. To ensure a full qualification at Subsidiary Diploma in Business there are three more units to complete. These are:
