When to enrol?

Placement of our new students in classes is carried out by the Heads of School to ensure classes are diverse across gender, language, national status, and additional learning needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sixth Form at Reach British School comes down to three options: A Levels, vocational BTEC qualifications, or a mix of the two. Students can take up to four A Level subjects, studied in modules with exams at the end of each year, choosing from English Language and Literature, French, Mathematics, Biology, Physics and Chemistry. That flexibility means students can shape their education around whatever university or career they're aiming for.

Most students join Reach British School's Sixth Form at the start of Year 12, right after finishing IGCSE exams in Year 11. The Heads of School handle placement, keeping classes balanced across gender, language, national background and additional learning needs. Applications get accepted all year round, so prospective Sixth Form students should contact the Admissions team directly to sort out timing and entry requirements.

STEAM in Sixth Form at Reach British School shows up mainly through subject choice: A Level and BTEC options like Biology, Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics give students a direct route into Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. The aim is to build the analytical and practical skills competitive university courses look for, and to get students ready for STEAM-related degrees in fields like Engineering and Medicine.

The University and Careers Pathway Programme handles most of the university and career prep at Reach British School's Sixth Form, with guidance on CVs, interview practice and looking into universities abroad. The numbers back up the academics too: a 98% A Level pass rate and 90% acceptance into Russell Group and QS-ranked universities. ISP scholarships, covering up to 75% of tuition, are also available for strong students heading into higher education.

Choosing a Sixth Form pathway at Reach British School happens with help from the University and Careers Pathway Programme, which looks at each student's strengths, interests and goals. Specialist staff talk students through whether A Levels, BTEC or a blend fits better with their intended university course or career direction. Ongoing reflection, assessments and mock exams feed into that decision too, so the final choice tends to match the student's actual academic profile rather than a guess.
