A Level Admission Policy
Our Aim
At Leyton Sixth Form College we care about your future
success and do everything we can to ensure that you
pursue the course which best suits your interests and
qualifications. Drawing on years of experience, we have
analysed the performance of past students, nationally
and at Leyton, and have established the following criteria
to help inform your choice of course.
The GCSE Score
We first work out your average GCSE score using a system
A LEVEL
whereby each A* is worth 8 points, each A 7 points, each
B 6 points, each C 5 points, each D 4 points, each E 3
ADMISSION POLICY
points, each F 2 points and each G 1 point. Short-course
GCSEs are valued at half of the above while other
qualifications you may gain at school, such as BTEC First
Diplomas and Certificates, are also taken into account
but for A Levels the majority of results on which your
average score is based must be ‘standard’ GCSEs.
AS Options
• Students with an average GCSE score of 5.25 or above
can take a 4 AS programme.
• Students with an average GCSE score of 4.75 or above
can take a 3 AS-plus-a-level-two-course programme.
(The level 2 course may be, for example, a GCSE re-sit).
• Only students with an average GCSE score of 5.5 or
above can take any of the following AS subjects:
Maths, Further Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology,
Economics, Accounts. For Spanish and French, an
average GCSE score of 5.5 will be needed, but students
who are bilingual will be exempt from this requirement.
• Students taking any AS subject will need at least a C
in GCSE English Language.
• Some subjects will have additional specific
requirements. For details of these, please see the
individual subject page.
Art and Performing Arts
Experience tells us that when considering applications for
the various AS Art options (Fine Art, Textiles, Graphics,
Photography, 3D Design), and for AS Music, AS
Performance Studies, BTEC National Diploma in Art and
BTEC National Diploma in Performing Arts, prior
attainment in relevant subject areas is important.
