Subjects

Our Sixth Form offer includes a wide range of A-Levels, and BTEC Extended Diploma in Business. 

Most pupils are expected to take three courses with BTEC extended diploma counting as the equivalent of three A levels. As A levels have moved to linear assessment and university offers are for three subjects, students are encouraged to focus on excelling in three subjects from the start. Each course is taught over six, fifty five minute lessons each. Pupils are expected to at least match those hours in independent study. 

Some pupils also choose to study for additional qualifications, such as the EPQ. 

We offer the following courses at A Level. Click each subject link to find out more about this subject at King Solomon Academy. 

Maths 

Further Maths 

Biology 

Physics 

Chemistry

History

Geography 

English

Psychology 

French 

Spanish 

Business (BTEC) 

Economics

EPQ  

 

Students follow courses that last for two years. At the end of Year 1 there will be internal examinations in A level subjects. These exams will determine students’ suitability to continue into Year 13 and will also be used to produce predicted grades to be sent to universities. BTEC students will sit two external examinations in Year 12 that do count towards their final grade – both exams must be passed for students to receive their qualification. All external exams for A level subjects will happen at the end of the second year of study and make up 100% of the final grade (except for History, English and Geography which have a coursework element). BTEC students will sit another two external exams in Year 13 alongside their coursework units.
