GCE Advanced Levels (A and AS Levels)

In 2009 Henley College students celebrated another successful year of examination results. Again, like the previous year, the A Level pass rate exceeded the national average and reached an almost unbeatable 98.1%. The percentage of A to C grades was also very impressive at 75%. There were 27 A Level subjects that achieved a 100% pass rate.

The HENLEY College offers you the widest choice of A Level subjects of any school or college in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire. We can offer you virtually any combination of subjects to suit your own individual needs. You will need to make your choice with advice from your parents, school, careers officers, Connexions adviser and finally at your College interview. A Levels are a demanding academic programme and need a high level of motivation to achieve success. Some courses are modular, some contain an amount of coursework and for all A Levels there is a high level of examination based assessment. Most of our A Level students will be going on to university.

You will normally study 4 AS Levels in Year 1, and in addition, for those with a strong GCSE profile (mainly A*s), the Extended Project.

To be accepted on an A Level programme you should have at least 5 GCSE subjects at Grade C or above (normally to include English and Maths) and in most cases you will be expected to have at least grade B in specific subjects. You will also need a minimum of 44 points (see Entry Criteria)

At GCSE we offer mainly retake programmes in English and Mathematics for students with Grade D. Spanish GCSE is also available.
