ADVANCED LEVEL INFORMATION EVENING Welcome to the Advanced Level Information Evening. We hope to be able to answer your questions and give you a sense of what it's like to be a student in our Sixth Form. There will be two opportunities to hear the Head Master, the Director of the Sixth Form and some current students speak in the Dobson Theatre at 7.30 pm and 8.15 pm. You are welcome to come to either address. Throughout the evening you may visit the various subject displays and talk to staff and students. Locations are in the Science building, in the English & Languages corridor and the East End. Please see the map inside for details. General questions should be addressed to Mr Jones (Director of Sixth Form), or Mr Courtney (Deputy Head Academic). Ms Greenwood will be available to be discuss matters related to careers and higher education. Mr Putt (The Registrar) is in the Concourse area to help those interested in joining the King Edward's Sixth Form.

You may study the subjects marked * whether or not you have taken them as GCSE courses. It may be helpful to talk to the head of department about such a choice. You will not normally be allowed to study three new subjects at Advanced Level; in many cases it may be advisable not to choose more than one subject [to follow to A2 level] which you have not previously studied at GCSE. Further Mathematics [A2] is only to be chosen as a fourth full Advanced level and must be combined with Mathematics [Mechanics]. By choosing it you are committing yourself to following Route 2 and taking four subjects in the Upper Sixth. However, AS Further Mathematics is available in combination with Mathematics [Mechanics] counting as a single timetabled subject.
