GCE Advanced Levels (A and AS Levels)

In 2011 Henley College students celebrated another successful year of examination results. In 2011 thirty-four A Level subjects achieved 100% pass rates.  50% of the grades were A* to B, including 20% A* and A.

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, 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/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.
