We appreciate your interest in joining our Sixth Form community.
Heathcote takes pride in the achievements of our Sixth Form, and we extend a warm welcome to all prospective pupils eager to embark on their academic journey with us. Our diverse range of subjects caters to a variety of needs, providing a comprehensive selection for your consideration.
When crafting your program of study, it is essential to explore suitable combinations of courses. Whether you opt for an exclusive focus on A’ Levels, BTEC, or a combination of both, you’ll be choosing 3 or 4 subjects at A Level or 1 or 2 BTEC Level 3. Your choices should align with your subject preferences and meet the entry criteria for each course. For detailed information on available courses and entry requirements, please refer to our Curriculum and Courses section.
Certain combinations of subjects are preferred or required by universities as enrolment criteria for specific degree programs. For instance:
- Biology is required for Medicine or Veterinary Science, and would need to be paired with either Maths or Chemistry.
- Physics and Mathematics are essential for Engineering courses, with Chemistry also required for Chemical Engineering programs
Please carefully review these considerations before finalising your course selections. However, if you are uncertain about your career pathway, feel free to choose subjects based on your strengths, interests, and a desire for a well-rounded education that imparts a diverse range of knowledge and skills.
