From September 2018 all A level courses will have reformed specifications. The main difference between these new specifications and the old specifications is that performance at AS level no longer contributes to the final ‘A’ level result. Conyers Sixth Form has therefore decided that students who enrol on A level courses will not be entered for AS exams at the end of Year 12.

‘A’ Level Entry Requirements

Students must have GCSE Maths & English at grade ‘4’ or higher.

• Students who achieve fewer than five GCSE’s at grade ‘6’ study three A level courses.
• Students who achieve between five GCSE grade ‘6’ and four GCSE grade ‘7’ study three A level courses plus either an EPQ or Core Mathematics.
• Students who achieve five or more GCSE’s grade ‘7’ have the option to study four A level courses.

BTEC Extended Diploma Entry Requirements

Students must have GCSE Maths or English at grade ‘4’ or higher.

• Students who achieve four GCSE’s at grade ‘4’ or above will be considered for a BTEC Extended Diploma course.
