Subject Choices

A Level Programme
Your time at Prior Park Sixth Form will be an opportunity to deepen your knowledge in subjects that you really enjoy, as well a chance to try something new. Prior Park offers the best of the British Curriculum through its high quality A Level Programme. Students who choose to undertake A Levels will be well prepared and positioned to enter further education or the world of work not only in the UK but around the world.

The British A Level programme taught at Prior Park can offer pathways to some of the best universities in Britain, including Oxbridge and the Russell Group. It is important for students to understand the specifications required for entry into these institutions so they can make an informed choice about their A Level subjects. Further information, such as the Russell Group ‘Informed Choices’ booklet, can be useful in the decision making process.

Choosing A Level subjects can be difficult; it can be helpful to talk to other students who have studied the same subjects and to consider the following things:

• Which subjects you enjoy
• Which subjects you are good at
• The higher education and career implications of your choices
• Your predicted grades
