BTEC – The Wolfe Report
   The Wolfe Review “BTEC National Diplomas are also
    valuable in the labour market, and a familiar and
    acknowledged route into higher education, alone or in
    conjunction with 1 or 2 A levels.”
   “BTEC level 3 awards differ markedly from A levels in that
    they all have a more or less specific vocational
    orientation, but they are also well-recognised by higher
    education, and widely accepted for entry onto degree
    courses, especially for courses in similar areas.”
   Large numbers of students progress directly from vocational
    courses to higher education. In 2009, 11.4% of the UK
    domiciled applicants who were accepted for HE entry had a
    BTEC National Diploma and no A levels, and a further 1.7% a
    BTEC National plus A levels. This compared with 37.1%
    holding A levels alone.

  aptitude

                                 George Abbot
What are the entry requirements
for the Sixth Form?
   Minimum GCSE entry requirements for chosen
    AS courses must be met.
   Based on previous experience students who
    do not meet the requirements do not succeed
    at A level.
   An offer of a place is conditional on achieving
    these required grades.
   Borderline students need to understand that
    they cannot expect exceptions to be made if
    they do not meet these grades, therefore
    alternative routes need to be considered
    following guidance.Master subtitle styleSchool non sibi sed toti
             Click to edit         George Abbot
Students must ……..
 Ask questions
 Get informed

 Read the subject guide

 Check minimum requirements

 Talk to subject staff

 Talk to sixth formers

 Work hard to get the grades they need at
  GCSE
