Pathways

Thornleigh Sixth Form prides itself on a wide range of level 3 courses tailored to meet your needs, skills and interests to enable you to fulfill your potential and progress from school into higher education, employment or training.

Every cohort of students is different and we aim to tailor our curriculum to each year group's specific needs. Therefore, rather than provide students with pre-set option blocks, we ask students to choose their subject combinations and then build the option blocks around them. By doing this, far more students are able to study their first choice of courses. However, we ask you to include a reserve choice just in case your combination does not fit into the option blocks. In exceptional circumstances we may need to withdraw a course if it is not viable to run it. If this is the case, students will be informed as early as possible to allow them time to select an alternative course.

It is compulsory for a student to retake English Language and Maths GCSE if they did not achieve at least a grade 4. These lessons will take place in addition to the level 3 courses that are opted for and will be timetabled at the start of the academic year. Students may also be eligible to be entered for a Functional Skills qualification.
