Thinking about re-choosing your Sixth Form options?

If your GCSE results are different from what you were expecting, you might want to re-consider your choice of 'A' level courses.  The first thing to do is discuss this with Miss McCrorie.  She will be available for 1:1 discussions in the school Library between 9.00 and 12.00 on Friday 23rd.  Here is some further advice you may wish to consider ...    The three rules for choosing your 'A' level subjects are: Ability, Interest and Utility. 

1) You need to have the ablity to study the subject and achieve in it at the level you require for university or employment.  This is typically a grade B in the subject at GCSE but you'll probably need this in English and Maths too;

2) You need to have an interest in what you're studying to sustain your effort over two years;

3) If you have a particular course or career in mind, you'll need the necessary 'A' level subjects to meet the entry criteria.  If you're not sure what these are, you can get additional guidance from The Russell Group's Informed Choices booklet and from the Search UCAS website.
