Academic excellence
Paston Sixth Form College has an outstanding reputation for the quality of its A Levels. Our results are consistently high and every year, hundreds of students choose to study A Levels at our sixth form college. We offer over 30 different A Level and equivalent courses in a variety of subjects giving you a varied curriculum and wide range of progression options dependant on your interests and abilities.
Choosing the right A Level subject choices
We place great emphasis on choosing A Level subjects which meet your aspirations. We will help you in making those choices.
To maximise your chances of achieving the best grades at A Level, we will advise you about subject combinations. This is not to limit your choice, but to help you in taking your next step to university or into employment.
Overall A Level entry requirements
You will need to have achieved at least five subjects at grade 5 or above to meet our overall A Level entry requirements. Many of our subjects also have their own specific entry requirements which can be found on each of our course pages. You need to achieve these to study that course. These will be discussed with you at your interview
Outstanding progression to university and apprenticeships
The majority of our sixth form leavers progress to university including Oxford and Cambridge. In addition to university, a number of students also progress to high quality apprenticeships and jobs.
Tutor support
We are invested in supporting you to achieve both during and after college and all our students have a personal tutor who you will see both in group sessions and on a one-to-one basis.
In addition to supporting you to progress towards your own personal targets, you will be provided with personal development opportunities to help you on your journey to university-level study, an Apprenticeship or employment. This includes specialist guidance for those looking to progress to aspirational university destinations such as Oxford or Cambridge, along with highly competitive subjects such as medicine, dentistry or veterinary science.
We can provide support to make your application stand out and help you prepare for your interview.
