16-19 study requirements

ASA 16-19 study offer

The ASA 16-19 study offer is designed to provide students with a structured and challenging learning programme that supports their development and progression in line with their career plans. Study programmes are individually tailored but will typically combine the elements below:

• substantial qualifications that stretch students and prepare them for education at the next level or for employment
• English and Maths where students have not yet achieved a GCSE grade 4
• work experience to give students the opportunity to develop their career choices and to apply their skills in real working condition
• other non-qualification activity to develop students’ character, broader skills, attitudes and confidence, and to support progression.

At Key Stage 5, Level 3 students complete Academic or Vocational programmes, as well as a mixture of Academic and Vocational courses; Level 2 Vocational programmes are designed to be completed in a year, alongside Maths and English re-sits.

Higher ability students complete Bright Futures, Slipstream, Hull University Alumni Mentoring, HE Plus and the EPQ independently. A comprehensive Enrichment/PSHE programme is delivered through weekly assemblies and through the tutorial programme.
