A-Levels
We offer a wide range of A-Level subjects and there are no restrictions on subject combinations, so students are free to choose subjects in line with their future academic and career ambitions. Most courses are offered in small groups, 1:1 courses are indicated.
Some of the A-Level choices we offer are not available at GCSE and it is important that students make informed choices before committing to an A-Level. We, therefore, offer taster sessions for all subjects. These provide the opportunity to meet the teacher, understand what the course entails and ask questions.
