Felpham Community College Prospectus

There are several types of major courses offered in the Sixth Form and we offer a wide combination of AS, A2, BTEC courses and Distance Learning AS/A2.

Most A levels will be based on four units of approximately equal size, each of which will be separately certificated. Two of the units will make up the Advanced Subsidiary (AS), representing the first half of an advanced level course of study. The other two will be known as A2, representing the second half.

Each A level is studied for eleven periods per fortnight over two years.

AS and A levels we expect to offer at Felpham in the forthcoming academic year:

Art, Craft & Design
Biology
Business Studies
Chemistry
Critical Thinking
Drama & Theatre Studies
English Language
English Language/Literature
English Literature
French
General Studies
Geography

History
Information and Communication Technology (Applied A Level)
*Law
Mathematics

Use of Mathematics
Media Studies
Performing Arts
Photography

Sociology

*Distance Learning Law AS/A2

We currently offer this at AS and A2 to a small group of students with proven academic ability and excellent study skills. We are hoping to extend into other subject areas, possibly Economics and/or Accountancy if numbers warrant their inclusion.

A student intending to enter Higher Education to study for a degree is advised to take four AS levels in Year 12. She/he will then probably reduce to three subjects after the end-of-Year 12 examinations.
