Sixth Form Curriculum

A-level courses are modular in form, with students taking three modules of study at AS and a further three to attain the full A-level (A2). The school at present offers AS qualifications in Art, English Literature, French and Music. Students may also progress to A2 study in most of these subjects if satisfactorily passed at AS in the first year of the Sixth Form. As an alternative to one of these optional courses of academic study, students may select the course in Office & Administration Skills which has been designed to assist them with their text processing and ICT skills. In Year 6.2, as an alternative to the optional A2 subjects, there may be the opportunity to take the GCSE in Business & Communication Systems.

For those students whose first language is not English, we are able to offer, where appropriate, English as an Additional Language (EAL) in support of their academic and artistic studies. Due to the specialist nature of EAL, courses attract an additional fee of £500 per pupil per term. SEN support is also available for pupils with dyslexia or similar needs.

For students currently studying A Levels at Elmhurst, the following combination of subjects is available:
