Five Term A-Level
Our Five-Term (18 Month) A-Level course starts in January of Year 12 and students complete Year 12 A-Level content within the first two terms, with additional support provided by the College. The remaining three terms (Year 13) allow you to progress at a normal pace, culminating in June A-Level exams alongside traditional two-year students.
We have consistently empowered students to achieve top grades, securing acceptance to prestigious universities and competitive courses. With an average class size of just 7 students, our teaching is tailored to each individual's needs.Weekly assessments and regular mock exams provide continuous, individualised feedback, ensuring steady progress and a clear understanding of where students are academically. Our comprehensive careers program further enhances student success, guiding them towards fulfilling and rewarding career paths. This holistic approach has led to outstanding academic achievements and excellent career outcomes for our students.
