4 The Level 3 programme of study at Aylesford Aylesford offers both academic (A levels) and vocational (BTEC) qualifications. A levels tend to be heavily weighted towards final examinations at the end of the two year course, whilst BTEC tends to offer more of a balance between ongoing project work and examinations. The subjects, which are provisionally available dependent on viability, are arranged in the option columns below. You are asked to choose 4 subjects each from a different option column. Most students will narrow this choice down to 3 subjects following GCSE results. Universities and apprenticeship providers tend to consider the highest grades across 3 subjects, so we recommend specialising in those subjects as early as possible. A small number of students will be offered 4 subjects, depending on GCSE performance and aspirations. What are the general entry requirements to the Sixth Form? A minimum of 5 GCSEs at Grade C/4 or above Grades C/4 at GCSE in your chosen subject To study Maths and the Sciences a Grade 6 at GCSE is required Good attendance Overall attendance at GCSE should be more than 90% Grade 4 or above in English and Maths Confirmation of a place on any course is reliant on a prospective student meeting the necessary grade requirements. Confirmation of suitability for the overall programme of study and selection of options is required from the Director of Sixth Form Studies. Advice on the choice of courses is available at all stages of the process. The Option Blocks You need to consider the combinations of subjects you are selecting.
