Post 16 Curriculum 2018/19

If you are likely to achieve 6 Level 5 - 9 grades (including at least a grade 6 in a subject you wish to continue) then you can choose from the A Level pathway. 
If you are likely to achieve 6 Level 4 - 9 grades and prefer a more vocational pathway (studying more coursework-based courses) then you may wish to choose entirely from the vocational pathway.  
It is possible to choose a combination of Level 3 courses combining A Levels and vocational courses, for example 3 AS levels plus a Level 3 BTEC.  In some cases it may be possible to combine Level 2 and 3 courses but this is dependent on entry requirements. There are options available for study at Queen Katherine Academy - these option blocks will be published at a later date depending upon interest, please contact us for further information.

If you feel that you are likely to achieve grades in the region of level 3 and above (minimum 5 level 3 grades) and may not achieve GCSE English and/or Maths at the end of Year 11 then you should choose a Level 2 pathway.  Choose two subjects from the three option blocks (A, D, E) plus English and/or Maths from block B/C.
