  • Option blocks and entry requirements

    The option blocks and entrance requirements for September 2025 are below; students typically pick three subjects, plus an EPQ. 
    We have four pathways, which are described below. Your eligibility will be based on your GCSE average point score (APS) and whether you meet the wider entrance requirements shown in the image beneath the table.

    Please note, to study three STEM subjects you will need a GCSE APS of 6.6 or above. 

    The example below shows how you can calculate your GCSE APS. 

    Add up your grades and divide by the number of entries. 

    E.g., 7,7,7,7,6,6,6,6,5 = 57/9=6.3. For this example, the student would be eligible for the Gold Pathway.
