September 2016
School policy states that the minimum
requirement to continue into Year 13 is at least
3 grade E’s (in the subjects the students
continue with).
The possibilities to complete Year 13 are:
3 x A level (or equivalent BTEC)
4 x A level for exceptional performance in
Year 12
What happens if a student does not
meet the minimum requirements?
Students must be in full time education i.e. the
equivalent of 3 courses
We may be able to offer a further AS Level to
make up to full time (limited subjects, subject to
space and timetable)
Students will be given support and guidance for
alternative options
