Students must have a minimum point score of 5.5 or above for their best 8 GCSE subjects. Please use the following when calculating average point score: BTEC subjects (Distinction star= 8, Distinction=7, Merit=5.5, Pass=4) Students must have at least a GCSE grade 5 or above in Maths and English *We will consider each student’s application on an individual basis. Students who achieve a high 5 in English or Maths would be considered for entry into the Sixth Form.
There are three exam-based units, and these are taken in exam conditions and marked by BTEC. All three units have a mock exam partway through the unit which is marked internally. This is to enable students to become more comfortable with the content of the unit and experience exam conditions. The other units are coursework based and students work independently on an assignment which has two submissions with feedback and corrections on the first submission. The only unit that is different is Unit 4 where students are in groups and organise and run an event which they then write up independently.
