Do you have the QE Sixth Form ‘Need to Achieve?’

Sixth Form Options Booklet

2018-2020

How do I get started?

Year 11 students are nearing the end of compulsory education, but as is the

way, there’s always a lot to do before. With PPEs (Pre-Public Examinations) upon us, applications to Sixth Form now open and the majority of interviews

for these places take place shortly after we have received the application pack. Students will have to work hard and think carefully about their future plans long before they even sit their first GCSE examinations in May.

Naturally there are a whole range of factors to consider in deciding which

pathway to follow and students should consider a number of questions when making choices towards their desired destinations:

What are your ambitions for your future destination - University, Apprenticeship or Employment?

What subjects and grades will you need to get you there? What subjects are you currently successful in? Which subjects interest and inspire you?

If you are still unsure of your future, choose a range of subjects which keep as many doors open as possible. Strive to develop a range of skills

across a range of subjects - what would be your broad and balanced subject choices?

It’s all about a healthy combination of

personal choice, personal experiences and personal destinations!

Some of the following suggestions may help to inform your choices:

Start your research and planning early Ask as many questions as you can. Your subject teachers, tutors and

parents/carers are all here to help and support you through this important process

Use our ‘in-house’ professional guidance and support. Come and visit: Any member of our dedicated Sixth Form Team (Top of B-Building) Any member of our dedicated Careers Team (C210 link bridge)

Start developing your very own QE Sixth Form ‘Need to Achieve’ qualities. Can you tick ‘yes’ to any of the following:

I communicate, I self-regulate – I’m in control, I take risks – I am resilient, I go all-out to make progress,

I work on my marginal gains, I am a leader and a role model, I attend and I am punctual, I approach and do not avoid,

I see failure as the first step to success, I strive for mastery orientation,

I am focussed on my destination Post-18...


What do you want your ‘destination’ to be?

Brainstorm… What are you interested in and what motivates you? What are your strengths and qualities - what are you good at?

What is your preferred method of study or career progression?

Research…

The ‘Next Step’ resources below

Use our professional guidance and support Ask as many questions as you can – other students, staff and

parents/carers

Action… What is my preferred destination – do I have a rank order? What do I need to do next and what is my application timeline

What do I need to get me there? How can I make myself more selectable or employable – how can I stand

out?

What are the entry requirements?

Minimum Sixth Form Entry Criteria

5 or more GCSE or equivalent grades at 5 to 9.

Minimum Subject Entry Criteria

Each subject has individual entry criteria, use this booklet to ensure that

you meet any additional requirements in order to study your preferred subjects.

Some subjects may have a ‘Route A’ and ‘Route B’ entry option. Route A is

subject specific if you are taking that subject at GCSE. Route B is for students who may not be taking that subject at GCSE therefore still giving

you access to the subject in the Sixth Form.

Minimum Subject Entry Options

A minimum of 3 and maximum of 4 subjects can be selected from 4 different option blocks. A maximum of 1 subject per option block.

1 compulsory Enrichment option

Please Note: A course may not be offered if there are too few students wishing to study that subject.

Application Process

Application forms - internal and external, can be found on the Sixth

Form page on the QE website along with an electronic version of the options process presentation and booklet.

We also require an application letter explaining: Why you want to come to the QE Sixth Form? Why you have chosen your subjects and enrichment option for Sixth

Form study? What are your future plans and desired destinations?

What does the ‘Need to Achieve’ mean to you? Deadline - Wednesday 31st January 2018. Applications can be made

throughout the year but we encourage students to meet this

deadline for the purpose of securing their preferred choices and for courses to run.

Interviews - students will be invited to attend an interview with a member of the QE Senior Leadership or Sixth Form Team.

If unsuccessful on the first interview, students will be given the

chance to complete a bespoke set of targets in their personalised ‘Passport to Post-16’. On completion, students will be offered a

second interview. If unsuccessful on the second attempt students will automatically be referred to our in-house Careers Teams to look into options outside of QE and prepare them for applications and external

interviews. Not one student will ever be left behind! All successful applicants must be available to attend our

compulsory Sixth Form Induction days on Tuesday 26 and Wednesday 27 June 2018.

Why study Chemistry?

We all do Chemistry every day! Studying A Level Chemistry will allow you to

make sense of the world around you. It significantly extends the subject from GCSE, developing both thinking and practical skills with new

experiences and concepts. Breakthroughs in many cutting-edge fields from materials science to medicine are currently being driven by Chemistry and

you will be able to appreciate how these impact on our lives.

Chemistry provides the stretch and challenge needed to stimulate high achievers. It can be taken by students who have yet to finalise their route into further

education or as part of a Science focused combination to lead on to greater

specialisation within the discipline.

A Level

Chemistry

Chemistry is a prerequisite for many courses in higher education and for many

areas of employment. It is also a long-established and respected qualification that can allow progression into a number of career areas. Advanced GCE serves

the needs of candidates desiring to progress into further or higher education to follow courses in Chemistry, one of the other sciences or related subjects, or to

enter employment where an understanding of Chemistry would be useful.

Why study Mathematics?

A Level Mathematics offers students with a strong understanding of Maths

the chance to study it at a higher level. It provides a thorough grounding in the mathematical tools and techniques often needed in the workplace.

Techniques covered include algebra, geometry, trigonometry and calculus, which together form the fundamental building-blocks of the subject.

A Level mathematics is now the most popular A-Level subject in the UK. It is a course that is, not only, stimulating but also highly rewarding.

The course will develop key employability skills such as problem-solving, logical reasoning, communication and resilience. And leads to a versatile

qualification that is well-respected by employers and higher education, especially Russell Group Universities.

It is a challenging course that links very strongly to a range of other courses at university level. It relies heavily on strong prerequisite algebra skills from

GCSE and strong work-ethic for exploration and self-study.

Why study Further Mathematics?

A Level Further Mathematics is a course for students who are particularly gifted

at Mathematics and have a real interest in the subject. It is a demanding course which requires a high level of skill, but is a qualification that is highly valued by

all top universities. Students studying Further Mathematics will also complete Mathematics at

A-Level.

By studying Further Mathematics it makes the transition from sixth form to university courses which are mathematically rich that much easier as more of the first year course content will be familiar.

The course covers pure content (including algebra, calculus, sequences,

complex numbers) and applied content (mechanics, statistics and decision mathematics). The deeper content covered will allow students to specialise in their areas of interest.

Why study French?

Have you ever been stuck trying to ask for directions or ordering food in a

French-speaking country? Perhaps you have watched a French film and wished

you didn’t need to read the subtitles? Whether you dream of living overseas,

travelling the world with work and helping people communicate; gaining

language skills will help you. More than 220 million people speak French on five

continents!

Learning French will build your communication, interpersonal, intercultural, and

public speaking skills. These are certainly desired by prospective universities

and employers. Languages are great for a wide variety of careers especially

those involving translation or communication.

French goes well with subjects like English Literature, History and Geography as

they are closely linked and can inform each other. Learning a bit about the

French Revolution in history? Knowing some French could give you a whole new

perspective! Bear in mind too that French is classified as a facilitating subject

which is a subject favoured by top universities for a whole range of degree

courses, so they are a great option, whatever you want to do!

Why study Spanish?

First and foremost because it’s fun! But there are plenty of more practical

reasons too. With the competition for university places growing ever fiercer, it is advantageous to have a foreign language qualification. A foreign language is

widely considered to be one of the most prestigious academic subjects and is also favoured by higher education institutions for the communication skills that it helps students to develop.

Just think about the work and study possibilities at home and abroad in today’s

global market that you may be opening up for yourself if you study a

language. An A level in a foreign language can give you an invaluable linguistic

base on which to build your fluency and confidence to communicate with others.

Critical thinking skills also improve as you learn to see the world through a

different cultural perspective so learning a second language actually stimulates

your creative streak and it opens your mind - literally!


Almost two-thirds of modern languages graduates enter employment within six

months of graduation. Popular areas of work include translating, writing,

advertising and marketing, personnel and HR, sales and business. Linguists are

the second most employable graduate category after medics.

Language skills are in demand and can be used in almost any career,

particularly within businesses that trade internationally. Experience in areas

such as administration and IT will also be useful for many jobs that use

language skills. Many modern language graduates choose careers not directly

related to their subject. This means that language graduates work for a huge

variety of employers and sectors, including: Business, Engineering, Media,

Teaching and Tourism

Why study Geography?

Geography is an exciting and relevant course to study at present as it links to

contemporary global issues such as climate change and globalisation. It is a subject which offers a diversity of skills (both quantitative and qualitative) that

students will require at university level and beyond which are highly transferable. It is considered both a science and an arts subject.

It has always been a very popular subject at QE with high recruitment levels and it complements sciences such as Biology, Physics and Maths as well as

other subjects such as Economics, Law and Sociology. There are a range of opportunities for students throughout the two years,

including an individual investigation and various field trips and a residential.

Politics Single

Why study Politics?

Politics is the most up to date subject you can study at A level. Our subject is

always kept current as Governments and the Politics of the people in the UK and USA constantly change.

This A level is especially relevant to you as it’s your future that is impacted on by the results of the referendum of 2016 and the elections of 2016 in the US

and 2017 in the UK.

Through independent investigation, class debate, visits and talks from a range of speakers you will explore how people in the UK and the USA vote, who they vote for and how political parties and pressure groups influence the way people

vote. You will also learn about the different bodies of Government in the UK and USA contrasting how they work from local to national to international levels

to represent the people. A new addition to the Specification from 2017 is the study of a range of the Political ideas from Socialism to Conservatism with the chance to learn about developing ideas such as Multiculturalism or Ecologism.

Politics combines well with A levels in History, Law, English, Economics,

Sociology, Psychology, Philosophy & Ethics.

Public Sector jobs, as well as in Education or Research across many industries. If you are going into higher education and thinking of studying a Humanities, Social Sciences or Arts subject at university, then having this

Why study History?

“History is who we are and why we are the way we are.” (David McCullough)

We are shaped by our past just as the powerful nations of today were shaped

by theirs. We are offering you the opportunity to gain an understanding of how two of today’s powerful nations were shaped by events in the 16th and 20th

centuries. Our course looks at national and international History, contrasting a

powerful emerging ‘Early Modern’ Nation with a 20th Century Super Power.

Unit 1 explores how the Tudors changed England internally, as well as how they began to spread England’s influence across the world as one of the most powerful

nations of the time.

Unit 2 investigates how the USA’s internal struggles brought the nation closer to equality whilst also exploring their post-World War Two foreign conflicts from

1945-1976.

To complement the two taught units you will also have the freedom to carry out an independent study from a choice of topics. You will produce a 3,500 word analytical essay which combines all the skills developed in unit 1 and unit 2.

Topics analysed so far have ranged from the motives behind the Crusades to the role of Ghandi in Indian Independence.


History is a traditional academic route through to university, college and

employment. Employers and colleges see the transferable skills developed by the study of History as useful preparation for the world of work, especially

the literacy and research skills.

History students continuing their studies in higher education have gone on to study History, Law, Politics, Sociology, Applied Social Sciences, Education and

Journalism.

documentary and experimental film. You will analyse both the technical and creative choices made by film makers to produce meaning, as well as develop an understanding of how a film’s production context affects the meanings it

generates.

Obviously, Film Studies suits students who enjoy watching films. However, it should be stressed at this point that Film Studies is not a film club but an academic approach to film. Students should therefore be interested in finding

out what goes on behind the scenes; going beyond passive watching and achieve a deeper understanding of the film industry. Moreover, a large part of

the assessment consists of essay-writing, so to do well in Film Studies you should have proved yourself in GCSE subjects such as English but equally you will have a creative flair in order to create your own short film sequence.
