  1. Sixth Form Open Evening

  2. Welcome… Mr D Hudson, Headteacher

  3. 2013 A2 Results A* 18.9% A*-A 51.2% A*-B 75.9%

  4. Entry Criteria • A minimum of 368 points from 8 full GCSEs including Maths and English at A*-C (where A* = 58, A = 52, B = 46 and C = 40). • For information, this is equivalent to 8 Bs. (Please note that you will need higher grades if you wish to study Maths and/or English at A level) • GCSE minimum levels in four AS level subjects of study as detailed in the prospectus • Recommendation from your present school • The course required is on offer.

  5. The Sixth Form Mr J Skyrme, Head of Sixth Form

  6. Extra Curricular Activities

  7. Over-subscription Criteria • Places are awarded according to the highest GCSE points score, based on the best 8 full GCSEs including Maths and English at A*-C (where A* = 58, A = 52, B = 46 and C = 40). • Students with qualifications other than GCSE, such as BTEC National Certificates and Diplomas, have their equivalent points scores and these will be taken into account following their application. • We usually have at least 40 places on offer (possibly more if some of our own students do not take up their places).

  8. The Good News is that…….. • We will be making some conditional offers on the basis of your school’s reference and predicted grades. • Do not be disappointed if you do not receive a conditional offer. • We will also reserve places for students who perform particularly well in August. • The demand from our own students means that there are limited places in some subjects • Some flexibility in your choice of subjects could therefore be an advantage.

  9. Choosing Your Course • Select four AS level subjects • Think ahead to university course selection, and may need to be aware that certain degree courses require certain subjects at A level: For example, Architecture courses require Art A2

  10. Choosing Your Course continued….. • In order to help you decide on your final choice of subjects, there is a section at the back of the brochure where you can find likely combinations of subjects needed for various degree courses/ careers. • Please note that any reduction in students opting for specific courses or a change in staffing might mean the subject offer would have to be amended.

  11. The Option Blocks • How the Sixth Form timetables are constructed: • Subjects are placed in Option Blocks. All subjects within a block are taught simultaneously and this means that you must ultimately choose one subject from each of the blocks, leaving one spare block. To increase the choice of subject combinations, some subjects will appear in two or more Blocks. • The Option Blocks for September 2013 are driven by the straw poll of current RLS students. These will be available on our website once RLS students have applied and courses allocated.

  12. Subjects likely to be on offer Fine Art Biology Chemistry Computer Science Design and Technology Economics English French Geography German Government and Politics History Human Biology Maths Statistics Maths Mechanics Further Mathematics Media Music Physical Education Physics Psychology Religious Studies (Philosophy + Ethics) Spanish Theatre Studies Collaboration with The Buckingham School: Dance (BTEC, Level 3) Photography

  13. Extension Opportunities • Preparation for: - Oxbridge applications - Medical/Veterinary/Law courses • Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) • Open University modules • Senior Students

  14. Key Dates for non-RLS applicants • Brochure NOW available for download • 26 February 2014 The Option Blocks go live on website along with student application form. • 2 March 2014 The deadline for applications: by midnight today students should have applied using the online application form and emailed applications to RLS.
