Key Stage 5 - A Levels

Sixth Form Options Booklet September 2023

Advanced Level GCE

Sir Henry Floyd Grammar School offers post-16 courses exclusively at A Level. All students will be required to study three subjects at A Level.

The only exception to this will be:

  • Students who opt for further mathematics as they will study two A levels alongside A levels in maths and further maths
  • Students who have a number of high GCSE grades.  Such students should indicate their wish to be considered on their application form. A place on a 4th A Level course will only be offered if a student’s school reference suggests that they will achieve highly at GCSE and their place on the 4th  A Level will only be confirmed once GCSE results are known.

There will no longer be an option for students to discontinue a subject at the end of year 12 having completed the AS portion of their course. All students entering Year 13 must study 3 A Levels. Further information on subjects offered at GCE A Level can be found in the Sixth Form Prospectus.
