You’ll learn how life chances are affected by society’s institutions and undertake an in-depth study of the British education system.

Additional options We offer all our A Level students a wide and varied enrichment programme. As part of this, you can choose to learn a new skill, take additional qualifications or simply enhance existing knowledge. Possible options are:
AS General Studies This course encourages you to think across specialist subjects; engage successfully with issues through the use of stimulating authentic source material; develop your thinking skills, capacity to construct arguments and ability to draw conclusions; improve your communication and presentation skills and work independently and with others.
Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) This is a qualification that is highly recommended by some top Universities. It is an AS qualification that can be awarded up to an A* grade (the only AS that does).
It offers students a free project choice, so you can explore in depth an aspect of a subject you are studying, or a topic in which you have a personal interest.
The topic for the project is chosen by you and agreed by your teacher, who then acts as your supervisor. You’ll need to show that you can plan, deliver, and present an extended piece of work. The outcome of a project can be an artefact, an essay, a piece of music, a DVD or anything else that fits the criteria!
