Sixth Form courses at Thomas Mills

All of the Sixth form courses listed are offered subject to sufficient demand, resources and the school having the necessary staffing and accreditation to offer them. Exceptions to this may apply in the case of very small student numbers or where staffing changes prevent this.

In addition to main programmes of study, enhancement courses in languages, sports and general studies are also offered to students. Extended project courses are also be available in the Upper Sixth.

To begin Advanced level courses a minimum of four GCSEs at grade 4 is expected together with a grade 5 in the subject to be studied. In subjects that are ‘new’ at advanced level or where a student may not have had the opportunity to study a particular subject at GCSE, a student’s general level of academic success at GCSE will be considered and discussed before a student embarks upon a course of study. For some revised new A level specifications, with a significant level of mathematical assessment incorporated within the qualification, a minimum GCSE grade 6 in mathematics will be required to enable a student to begin the course.
