Mix & Match Curriculum

Students can do any combination of all A Levels, all BTEC Level 3s or Technical Level qualifications or a 'mix and match' of all or some of these.

The 'norm' is for students on the Advanced Level Programme to study three 'units' (3 A Levels or equivalents) in both the Lower and Upper Sixth.

Some students may be allowed to do a fourth A Level which they would usually 'cash in' for an AS Level at the end of the Lower Sixth. Please note however, that not all A Levels have 'nestable' AS Levels.

Students wishing to study four A Levels should include a fourth subject on their application form, so that this option can be discussed at interview.

Here are some examples of how students might 'mix and match' their study programmes.

Example 1:

Year 1	Year 2
1 x BTEC Level 3 Diploma (two units)	1 x BTEC Level 3 Diploma (two units)
1 x A Level (one unit)	1 x A Level (one unit)
Total = three units	Total = three units

Example 2:

Year 1	Year 2
1 x BTEC Level 3 Subsidiary Diploma/Extended Certificate (one unit)	1 x BTEC Level 3 Subsidiary Diploma/Extended Certificate (one unit)
2 x A Levels (two units)	2 x A Levels (two units)
GCSE Mathematics (extra re-sit course)	Total = three units
Total = three main units

Example 3:

Year 1	Year 2
2 x BTEC Level 3 Subsidiary Diplomas/Extended Cerificates (two units)	2 x BTEC Level 3 Subsidiary Diplomas/ Extended Cerificates (two units)
1 x A Level (one unit)	1 x A Level (one unit)
Total = three units	Total = three units
