The following pages outline the subjects available at Dudley Sixth. All students study three or four subjects. To be in with a chance of joining us in September you are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.

Our typical student programme is three A-levels, but we would be able to consider a programme of four A-levels if you have consistent 9 grades for each GCSE.

General Entry Requirements

To study A levels, you will require a minimum of 5 GCSEs including two at grade 6 and three at grade 5. English language must be at a minimum of grade 4.

Individual subjects may have specific entry requirements (see courses for details).

English and mathematics

We are committed to improving your English and mathematics skills while you are learning with us. You will have the opportunity to study English and/or mathematics as part of your main programme of study and all of your teachers will help you develop these skills throughout your time with us. If you do not have a GCSE (grade 4 or above) in English or mathematics then these subjects will be an integral part of your course.

Our aim is to get every learner who studies here to achieve GCSEs in English and mathematics (grade 4). However, we do recognise that not all learners will be ready to take a GCSE when they start their programme and for this reason we have developed a progression route to help them along the way.
