Courses available
We have two programmes of study available: a two-year programme, which is designed for students who are prepared to begin their A Level studies when applying to the college, or a three-year programme which allows a foundation year for students to consolidate their knowledge of science, mathematics and English before commencing the A Level programme.
Three Year Programme
The three year programme is designed to prepare students for A level study. It offers specialist support and intensive English language tutoring for students whose second language is English. Students will study GCSE Mathematics and English alongside a pre A level programme of study in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. All students are encouraged to enter a range of academic competitions including subject-specific Olympiads and there is full participation in a co-curricular programme.
Two Year Programme
Our two year programme is for students ready for A level study. Students will study Mathematics and Further Mathematics and up to three other A level subjects selected from Chemistry, Physics, Biology and Computing. There are opportunities to enter Olympiad competitions in all academic subjects and there is full participation in a co-curricular programme.
For international students, English language tuition and support through the IELTS programme is a compulsory component of the timetable.
