Use your predicted grades to check out which level of qualification is right for you. Make sure you read about the changes to qualifications on page 7. A levels are offered in a range of subjects similar to those you studied at GCSE such as chemistry, French, maths and geography. They are Predicted to get studied over two years and you have GCSE grades 9-4 exams at the end of the course. or equivalent?

These entry requirements are only intended as a guide. Specific qualifications and their entry requirements can be found in sixth form and college prospectuses and on their websites. 6 More about qualifications YOUR OPTIONS AFTER YEAR 11 - QUALIFICATIONS GCSE grade changes GCSE grades are changing from letters (A*-G), to numbers (9-1), for those young people leaving Year 11 from 2017 onwards. If you are leaving Year 11 in June 2019 you will get numbers for all of your grades (unless you are taking some ancient or modern foreign languages). Grade 9 is the highest grade and grades 4 and 5 are equivalent to an old grade C. It is really important that you check entry requirements before applying so you apply for the right level of course. Vocational qualifications These qualifications are available in different sizes - depending on how many hours they take to study. If you are taking a BTEC, Cambridge Technical or other qualification at level 3 check its size, as you may need to take other qualifications alongside it, especially if you are thinking about higher education. BTECs At level 2 you may see these terms used At level 3 you may see these terms used • Certificate • Extended Certificate - equivalent to 1 A level • Extended Certificate • Foundation Diploma - equivalent to 1.5 A levels • Technical Certificate • Diploma - equivalent to 2 A levels • Diploma - equivalent to 4 GCSEs (9-4) • Extended Diploma - equivalent to at least 3 A levels • Technical Diploma - equivalent to 4 GCSEs (9-4) These qualifications are mainly assessed through coursework, but you may have to sit an exam for some units or undertake an assessed task or performance. Vocational qualifications at levels 2 and 3 can be ‘technical’ - that is aimed at helping you get a specific technical job. Or they can be ‘applied general’, which cover a broad area of work. For example, a BTEC Level 3 National Diploma in Photography is called a ‘tech level’ - whereas a BTEC Level 3 National Diploma in Art and Design is called ‘applied general’. You need to think about whether you want to specialise or study a broader range of subjects within your vocational qualification. A levels Over the past few years A levels have been changing. • Exams are taken at the end of the two year course - rather than as you go along, as was the case in the past. • Most schools and colleges will encourage you to take three A levels and not four as may have happened before. • AS levels used to form the first year of an A level. However, AS levels and A levels are now separate qualifications. 7 How do I know what’s right for me? When deciding which option is best for you, think about...YOU! What grades are you going to get? It is important to What do you like doing - at school and base your decision on in your spare time? What don’t you like doing? your interests What careers ideas have you got? How do you prefer to learn - do you your prefer exams or coursework? skills and what What’s available and where you Does the school, college or training provider you like doing.

  • 5Dde61d5ea470326f5ff0b64 Abbey MAT LA Sixth Form Consultation.Pdf
    Existing Year 12 and 13 students to complete their qualifications Suspend recruitment to Year 12 of the Sixth form for September 2020 Sixth form to close fully in August 2021 Lightcliffe Academy is part of the Abbey Multi Academy Trust (Abbey MAT). This proposal and the associated consultation has been approved by the Abbey MAT Trust Board, following discussion with the Local Governing Body, Principal, and the Senior Team of the Academy. Following much consideration and taking into account the long-term viability of post-16 provision, particularly in view of the financial challenges facing the school, the Abbey MAT Trust Board has decided to consult on a proposal to close the Sixth Form at Lightcliffe Academy with effect from Summer 2021. If agreed, the proposal would mean that no new students would be admitted into Year 12 in September 2020. The proposal would only affect the sixth form and would not mean any changes to the rest of the academy. While the Trust acknowledges that the proposals are very sensitive and may be disappointing for some students, parents and staff, we believe it is necessary to preserve the future viability of the school, and indeed strengthen Lightcliffe Academy in the longer term. Significant changes to the way post 16 students are funded in schools and colleges were introduced in the 2013/2014 funding year. Since then, funding has gradually declined, and this has had particular impact on small school sixth forms. The average sixth form college has around 1,700 students, while the average school sixth form has a little over 200.
