It cannot be taken for granted that all students will proceed to the Sixth Form at their present school. The purpose of this prospectus is to show you what St Anthony’s College has to offer, as you make the difficult choice about where and how to continue your education after GCSE.
To qualify to join the Sixth Form at St Anthony’s you will need a minimum of 4 GCSE`s at Grade C or better.
All A Level subjects are modular and are based on a four Module structure with the first two making up the AS qualification and the second two making up the A2 qualification. This means that you do not necessarily need to choose which subjects will become full A Levels until well into the course.
Choosing the right combination of subjects for your Sixth Form course is very important. This booklet should help you make the right choices, but they must be used in discussion with your parents and teachers. It is also a good idea to talk to Sixth Formers who are already following the courses you are thinking of taking.
In general, courses in higher education (at university and higher education colleges) are not A Level subject specific; that is, you do not have to take particular A levels to qualify for a particular university course. There are some exceptions, however, the most important of which are:
· Biological Sciences: require A level Chemistry as well as Biology
· Engineering courses: require Mathematics and Physics.
· Medicine: requires Chemistry and two others sciences, Physics, Biology or Mathematics.
· Veterinary Science: requires Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
· Agriculture: requires Chemistry.
It is usually the case that, if you are thinking of studying at university a subject which is available at A level, you should choose that subject as one of your A levels. Even here, however, there are exceptions; examples include Government & Politics and Business Studies.
In short, gaining selection to a higher education course of your choice is often as much about the A level grades you achieve as the subjects you have taken. To achieve high grades, you must be committed to your studies, hence the importance of making the right choice in the first place.
Remember, when choosing your A level subjects, ask yourself these questions:
· Do I need to choose this A level to qualify for my likely career path?
· Am I capable of achieving a good grade in this subject?
· Am I really interested in studying the subject?
Do not underestimate the importance of the last question. Most A level subjects require many hours of study, both inside and outside the classroom each week, and a genuine interest will help you to make the necessary commitment and achieve the best grade you can. Some of this work will be background research and you will be expected to take much more responsibility for your studies. You will of course receive help with this, from subject staff and your form teacher.
Below you will find a summary of the courses currently offered at St Anthony’s. Other courses might be added if there is sufficient
