Sixth Form Course Choices St Peter’s pupils will be asked to select three or four courses for study in the Lower Sixth. For most this will reduce to three courses in the Upper Sixth. The programme may consist of three or four A Level courses or three A Level courses and the Extended Project Qualification. Universities regard both paths equally favourably. For those who wish to extend themselves further, the Extended Project Qualification or Further Mathematics may be studied in addition to four A levels. The list of courses available for 2022-2024 is below. The form at the back of this booklet, and available on the website, should be returned by 9:00am Friday 10 December for pupils currently at St Peter’s and with the acceptance form for new pupils joining the school in September 2022. Choices should satisfy the following criteria: -
