Academic - Curriculum

Sixth Form

All boys take four AS level subjects in the Junior Sixth; in exceptional cases, some may take five. In the Senior Sixth, boys take three, four or five subjects. The fifth subject will often be Music or Further Mathematics. The number of subjects taken will depend on academic progress and university course requirements.

The Sixth Form timetable allows for virtually any combination of the following subjects:

English Language, English Literature, History, Politics, Classical Civilisation, Latin, Greek, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Economics, Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Art, Music, Drama and Theatre Arts, Religious Studies.

Subjects may not be available at AS or A level if there is insufficient demand.

The Sixth Form curriculum also includes courses in ICT and a programme of recreational and sporting activities. The remaining periods in the weekly timetable are available for private study for which there are excellent facilities in the library.
