At Tapton we add another level to our entry requirements, solely for the Sciences and Maths. We have found that historically, there is a link between how a student performs in these subjects and the average point score that they received for their GCSEs. Therefore, as well as achieving the individual entry requirements for each subject, the following conditions apply:
- To study all 3 Sciences and Maths, you need an Attainment 8 of 70 (equivalent to all 7s and above)
- To study 3 Sciences or 2 Sciences and Maths, you need an Attainment 8 of 64 (equivalent to mainly 7s and some 6s)
- To study 2 Sciences or 1 Science and Maths, you need an Attainment 8 of 55 (equivalent to mainly 5s with some 6s).
- Studying four A-Levels: Our course offer can be viewed by clicking on the subject areas. If you would like any further information regarding an individual course, option choices or entry requirements then please contact our Sixth Form Team.
- Make sure your subjects fit in the Option Blocks. Once we have all the applications in at the end of January, we will create the option blocks. This allows us to make the most number of 'fits' for the most students. Once the option blocks are created, subject choices need to fit in those blocks.
If your choice does not fit, it will not be possible to timetable it and you will be asked to make an alternative choice. However, there is a very outside chance, that a subject can be moved, without disadvantaging anyone else. Please complete the form with a choice that does fit but, also, send a separate email to curriculum@inovamat.org saying what you would really prefer to do, if it were possible.
Studying Four
We allow students to study four subjects and, where the curriculum allows, for them to take an AS Level in one of their subjects.
