For students wishing to study BTEC courses, the expectation is that they would hold five GCSEs at grade 4 or above ( the equivalent of the previous C grades). For students wishing to study A-level courses, we would expect that four of their GCSE grades would be at grade 8 or above for them to complete thier course
Paper 1: Sections 1–4 91 2hr 35% Paper 2: Sections 5–8 91 2hr 35% Paper 3: Sections 1–8 78 2hr 30% Practical endorsement: students will cover set practical tasks in which their skills will be assessed internally. The skills covered will also be assessed in the written examinations. Pass/Fail Ongoing throughout the course Reported separately
