arrangements

Progression

  • All young people must stay on in education

and/or training until they are 18

  • At least a Grade 5 in both English and

Mathematics for A Level Courses and Grade 4 for vocational courses

  • Students who do not achieve the above at the

end of Year 11 will have to continue to study Mathematics and/or English

  • Universities are interested in GCSE grades and

not just A Level results
