Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The standard requirement for A Levels at Stamford College is 5 GCSEs at Grade 5/C or above as a minimum for humanities subjects and 6/B in maths for all science subjects.
Each A Level subject has its own additional entry requirements, please see below:
Minimum grade 66/BB or above in Double Award Science or a grade 6/B in a single science and maths.
Students will require a Casio fx991 EX or fx991 CW calculator for this course.
Maths is an important subject for many careers and a requirement that sits alongside other subjects for study at a higher level for example engineering, computing, physics, sciences, medicine.
We invite you for an online interview which will explain the A Level programme and also allow for an informal chat with the tutor for each subject before an offer to study with us can be made to you. We will review each application on a case-by-case basis to ensure you get a place on the course most suitable for you.
You will work on solving problems and will complete regular mock exams for each topic. You will study in a variety of ways which include in class activities, worksheets, practise exam questions, tests, group work and independent study. You will be provided with topic booklets which you will be expected to complete both in and outside of class. The Awarding Body is Edexcel.
You will study 3 A Level subjects, plus tutorial and career development sessions. Each subject has 6 hours per week contact time, with approximately 4 hours of independent study.
Unfortunately we cannot accept students who only want to study a single A Level subject due to funding limitations.
During the two years of study, you will be regularly assessed under test conditions to practise being able to understand and respond to the questions asked in the correct time allocation so that you are fully prepared for the final exams.
There is an assessment calendar for A levels which includes timed assessment every 4 to 5 weeks. Feedback gained from these assessments will help you to develop your skills, target your revision and where necessary enable us to provide additional support.
You will require a scientific calculator.
We also organise industry visits that are relevant to your subjects and, where possible, subject specific conferences.
