Linear & Modular assessment
• We offer 2 types of courses at level 3.
• A Level assessment – 2 years of study followed by 2
or 3 exams at the end of Year 13. These are
supported by internal mocks in May of Y12,
December of Y13 and April of Y13.
• BTEC assessment – 2 years of study assessed in a
modular way. Normally this includes coursework in
Y12, followed by one exam at the end of Y12. An
exam in January of Year 13, followed by coursework
in year 13. This is all added together to create a
Pass, Merit or Distinction grade.
Post 16 Bursary is available to help support students with equipment, travel to work
placements, to allow them to adhere to Post 16 dress code and other one off costs to
support them to succeed at Post 16.

UCAS points system
Normally local or Universities that have proved popular
with our students make offers at around 100 – 120 points.
Target setting: Y12
Your Y13 target grades are calculated based on
your GCSE performance
There targets are aspirational and therefore will
need working towards over 2 years
It’s not unusual for early assessment in Y12 for
students to be beneath their target grades.
Students will need to show a resilient attitude and
show perseverance as they work towards them.

Post 16 Attendance Policy
Aim
Our aim is to encourage and support all Post 16 students to attain 100%
attendance. Our minimum expectation is 95% and if students fall
beneath this without a valid reason then you will be contacted.
Good attendance at school is important for student development and
achievement and our expectation is that students, parents/carers and
school will work together to ensure that students attend school and
access the appropriate Post 16 education.
Students in Y12 are expected to be in 5 days a week from 8:50 a.m.
until 3:10 p.m.
