We follow the AQA specification which, based upon some independent research of a selection of top Russell Group universities, was viewed as being the preferred choice for institutions such as the University of Warwick, the University of York and Durham University due to its academic rigor and subject content. The A Level course will provide students with the key competencies and knowledge to pursue a career in management. The focus is on both long-term strategic and medium-term tactical decision making and the impact of the external environment on business.
The basic entry requirement onto most courses is a minimum of a grade 6 at GCSE in an appropriate subject, however those students who embark on A Level studies with a grade 7 or above are likely to find the transition much easier. In some cases there may be further restrictions e.g. a minimum of a grade 6 in Maths to do Physics. Please see the following individual subject pages for further details. Students must also have achieved at least a grade 4 in both Maths and either English Language or Literature to qualify for entry into the Sixth Form. The full A Level qualification will be assessed at the end of Year 13 and will consist of three papers each of two hours duration. These will be made up of a range of multiple-choice, short answer and extended answer essay questions. Each paper is synoptic testing the students’ knowledge of the entire two year course.
