GCE 'A' level and AS level

The following programmes of study for Year 12 and 13 lead to external examinations (i.e. AS and A-Level) and are offered through Edexcel and Cambridge International Examinations Boards.


For detailed information, please request a copy of the SRIS Keystage 5 Brochure.


Full details about the examination boards, their examinations and syllabuses may be accessed as follows :-


For EdExcel :  www.edexcel.org.uk
For C.I.E.:     www.cie.org.uk

'A' Level courses are now structured on a modular basis with students doing possibly 2 written papers at the end of the lower sixth (Year 12) and completing the final paper(s) in the upper sixth (Year 13.)


AS level can be regarded as an examination in itself or in some instances may be an integral part of an 'A' Level syllabus.


It is extremely important that students who wish to study at sixth form level agree their programmes with the Head of Secondary School in the first instance.


It may be possible initially in Year 12 to follow a mixture of courses which may involve retakes of IGCSE/GCSE examinations provided the student follows a balanced programme of study.


N.B. Pending authorization from the International Baccalaureate Organisation, we hope to replace A Levels with the I.B. Diploma as from September 2009.
