CURRICULUM
The Post 16 curriculum at Thomas Tallis School is rich and varied. We offer many A-level courses and some BTECS. We also offer the Extended Project Qualification and Mathematical Studies, and run retake courses for English Language and for Mathematics GCSE.
In the main, A-level courses are best suited to students with an average of 6's or better at GCSE, whilst BTECs are accessible to students with an average grade of a 4 at GCSE.
Our A-levels are all linear - this means that all of the exams for nearly all subjects come at the end of Year 13. Our BTEC qualifications are mainly assessed through coursework, set to tight deadlines, although each BTEC also has a written exam paper each year.
We offer a great deal of expert guidance to young people on the best combination of courses to suit their abilities and aspirations. For our more demanding courses, particularly maths, economics and the sciences, we may ask students to take an aptitude or induction test to decide whether we can offer you a place to study them. This is because we want to give applicants the best advice about taking courses at which they'll succeed.
