UNIQUE FLEXIBLE TIMETABLING

 

The Sixth Form is flexible because students:

 

• Can combine courses

        (e.g. A levels and BTEC )

 

• Can combine levels of qualifications

        (e.g. can combine A level with GCSE)

 

• Can study at a variety of times 

        (e.g. some courses operate as twilights which means students can stay later in

         the evening and come in later in the morning)

 

• Can study for part of the week and leave other days for paid work

 

• Can study in classes or can work in small tutor groups

 

• Can study A levels if it is believed they are capable of it rather than have absolute, hard and fast entry requirements
