Choosing a Course
As a new sixth form student, you have more
options and a greater degree of flexibility than
ever before. Making the right choice is crucial
for your enjoyment and success during your
sixth form studies and also crucial for your
future options when you leave school. Staff at
Lady Lumley’s have years of experience and
expertise in teaching A Level courses and can
help you make the right choices and select
the right combination of subjects.
We offer a wide number of courses post-16
at Advanced Level. Full details of all these
courses can be found at the back of this
prospectus.
If you follow the A Level route you will usually
choose four subjects to study at AS Level
in Year 12. Each subject will be taught by
specialist teachers in well-resourced rooms.
We also support you through AS General
Studies in Year 12 and give you the option to
continue this to A Level in Year 13. When you
reach Year 13, you will normally continue with
three of your subjects through to A2 Level.
We always respond to the needs of individual
students and some sixth formers may pick up
a new AS course in Year 13 or even carry on
with four or more subjects to A2 Level.
