Mr Stait-Gardner (Head of Wingate Sixth) is happy to answer queries and provide advice to parents and students about the suitability of the different courses available.

The Advanced Course

GCE AS and A levels

You need to have achieved at least a grade C in any subject you wish to study.

In order to be successful at A level you need to have five or more GCSEs at grade C or above as the starting point.

We offer the following subjects at GCE AS and A level:

        Biology, Business,  Chemistry,  English,  French,  ICT, Mathematics,  Psychology and Spanish. 

We offer the following subjects at AS only:              English Language.

Students usually study 4 subjects in Year 12 reducing to 3 in Year 13.

In addition, it is possible to study for GCSEs in some subjects.

We expect you to take Spanish.  Spanish is offered at all levels including beginners for those who have not studied the language before.  In two years it is possible to reach GCSE standard.

We use the Cambridge (CIE) and London (Edexcel) examination boards.

We are please to say that we have a100% success rate at A level.

For the Advanced Course, university entrance is normally the target.

You may study Full-Time or Part-Time.  Full time students benefit from study and support facilities available.  Part-time students only attend for their lessons. 

University Entrance

For the UK, applications are made during the first term of Year 13.  You will need to research courses and prepare a personal statement.  You will be guided through the whole process by our experienced staff.
You will need to pass 3 subjects at GCE advanced level.  Different universities will ask for you to achieve particular grades for them to admit you.

For Spain, under new education laws in Spain, Spanish Universities will now accept A levels.  This means that Wingate Sixth students will be able to proceed to Spanish Universities as well as those in the UK.  The minimum requirements are two A level at grade E plus a good standard of Spanish.  However, the more popular the course the higher the grades you will actually need to get in.  We advise that you study 3 A levels. 
Students wishing to proceed to Spanish university will need to make sure that they study the right combination of subjects.  We will advise you on the what combinations are acceptable for the course you wish to study at university.

The Standard Course

For those students who are not ready for A levels we offer a course that will allow you to consolidate your GCSEs.

You will only be successful in this course if you are prepared to work hard.

Wingate Sixth students do not have to wear school uniform.  However,  we do expect you to exercise sensible choices and dress appropriately for study.  We do reserve the right to ban inappropriate clothing.

The Wingate Sixth students are treated as a tutor group.  Your tutor will see you daily and monitor your attendance.  We aim to create an adult atmosphere within a firm and caring  environment.  Learning has to be at the centre of the reason for joining Wingate Sixth.

The Wingate Sixth is an integral part of Wingate Senior School.  Students are members of the school house system and attend assembly each week.  They collect for the School Charity.  The school is supporting the Red Cross this year.
