Option Choices

Option Choices and Process

When making choices, pupils will be asked to select a maximum of four A levels based on their chosen route of study. Music Specialists are strongly advised to choose three A level subjects, one of which is to be Music. Specialist Mathematicians are expected to study Maths and Further Maths.

The subjects outlined in this booklet are currently what we plan to offer in the academic year 2022-23, however these may be subject to change based on demand and resources.
