Clifton High School offers a broad range of A level course options with a high degree of flexibility as we strive to accommodate every student's subject choices.
Ms Louise Brackenbury - Assistant Head, Learning & Teaching
The combination of subject choices made at A level often have a major impact on the degree course a student studies when they apply to university, as well as what they may consider for a future career. If a student is undecided on what they would like to study at A level, we will offer expert knowledge, support and advice to ensure they make the right decision. We currently offer twenty-seven subjects at A level, as well as several ancillary courses including Core Maths, AS level Photography and the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ). In the coming year we are looking to add to this ancillary provision with a Sports leadership qualification.

EXTENDED PROJECT QUALIFICATION
In addition to A levels, students may also complete an Extended Project Qualification (EPQ). This is intended to stretch a student's research and investigative skills within an area of particular interest to them. An area of study is often selected that is complementary to the subject they are considering at degree level and that, in itself, extends A level learning.
The EPQ is highly valued by universities as it demonstrates a student’s ability to plan, research and write autonomously, and in some cases it can facilitate university entry.
It is Clifton High School's intention to facilitate all of the subjects listed above. However, if demand is low for a particular subject in any given year, we may review the offering.
Alternative subjects may be available through sponsorship and we kindly request parents to contact us directly for further information and clarification.
