At St Dunstan's Sixth Form, our A Levels give you freedom to shape your own pathway, with no compulsory subjects.
We guide you towards combinations that align with your ambitions—for example, Chemistry and Biology are essential for Medicine. Success requires independence and careful subject choice: some courses demand strong mathematical ability, while others involve a heavy coursework load or extensive essay production.
At Sixth Form you benefit from smaller classes, closer teacher support, and greater opportunity to think critically and independently.
Above all, choose subjects you enjoy and excel in—strong results in these areas will serve you far better than weaker grades in unsuitable courses. There are 24 A Levels on offer here, as well as the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ). All students start on 4 A Levels, plus the EPQ so they have opportunity to try unfamiliar subjects and ideas, but rapidly most students then focus upon 3 subjects after the first half term with the EPQ as similarly optional.
