Three routes sit side by side in one sixth form curriculum
Our specialist advisers help you combine them into the right mix. Every subject has its own page with entry requirements, what you will study and where it leads.
A Level, for academic depth across sciences, humanities, languages and the arts
BTEC, for applied, coursework-led study with a strong vocational focus
CTEC, for practical, career-focused qualifications recognised by universities and employers

Through Kingsley Online, you can take one of your three subjects online, choosing from up to 44 further A Level courses beyond those taught on site, from Cantonese, Classics and Geology to Law, Philosophy and Sociology. You stay part of the Kingsley Family day to day.
It is a practical way to keep an unusual combination open, or to add a subject a university course asks for.
Research a question of your own choosing
Sixth Form students take the Extended Project Qualification alongside their three subjects, although Further Mathematics students would not normally take one. Valued by universities as half of a full A Level, it lets you research a question of your own and produce an extended piece of independent work, and students are encouraged to focus on one of the 17 UNESCO Sustainability Goals.
The EPQ builds the independent research, critical thinking and academic writing that strengthen a UCAS application, and it pairs well with the Top Universities Programme for students aiming at the most competitive courses.
Breadth of choice works because students are supported to make the most of it
In 2026, 98.6% of A Level grades at Kingsley were A* to E, above the national figure of 97.5%, and vocational students averaged a Distinction, with an average point score of 44.5 against 29 nationally.
