In Sixth Form (ages 16–18), students choose from multiple A-level pathways (standalone AS-level, AS-levels in Year 12 with A-levels in Year 13, or a two-year A-level programme), with A-levels offered by AQA, Cambridge International, Edexcel International, and Edexcel, and typically four AS-levels in Year 12 followed by three A-levels in Year 13.
