Key Stage 5

Sixth Form - Post 16

After students have finished their IGCSE they can specialise more in their studies. They will study fewer subjects, but in much greater depth, preparing them for further study at university or success in employment. In Years 12 and 13, students can study either A-Levels or BTEC.

The decisions you make regarding your subjects and place of study in Post-16 will significantly impact your future life and career. You will have the time to explore and consider your future plans with our dedicated Careers Guidance Counsellor.

International BTEC

BTEC is a vocational course that is the equivalent of up to 3 A levels. It provides a specialist work related programme of study that covers the key knowledge and practical skills. It offers flexibility and a choice of emphasis through the specialist units.

An international Level 3 BTEC Extended Diploma is a two-year qualification equivalent to three A-Levels. However, the course is very flexible and there are smaller qualifications that can be achieved in one year. International BTEC qualifications are accepted at many universities around the world.
