CHOOSING YOUR A LEVEL SUBJECTS
If you are already a St Catherine’s student
Study this booklet carefully to find out what St Catherine’s offers you in the next stage of your education. Read through the subject pages and draw up a shortlist. Talk to as many people as possible to get more advice, views and guidance, especially Heads of Department, subject mentors and your School Housemistress/Housemaster. Come to the Sixth Form Open Evening in September. Ask questions and keep an open mind! Choose the subjects you would like to explore further during the Sixth Form Taster Day. Use this opportunity to try some new subjects. Think carefully about whether boarding will help you manage your studies and activities. Why not try taster boarding too? You will be invited for a series of meetings with your individual A Level Options Mentor to receive support and advice about your subject choices every step of the way. Come to each meeting prepared to talk about YOU. It’s your future! Assess all the information and then submit your final A Level option choices in February after mock exams. Consider the subsidiary subjects on offer and select preferred choices. Concentrate on your GCSEs and IGCSEs, enjoy your summer and wait for excellent results!
