A Levels

Paston College has an outstanding reputation for the quality of its A Levels. Our results are consistently high and every year, hundreds of students choose to study A Levels at our sixth form college.

We offer over 20 different A Level courses in a variety of subjects. If you are interested in Biology or Psychology, we also offer Medical Science and Criminology as a single award. This provides a more practical setting as part of your A Level programme.

Choosing the right A Level subject choices

We place great emphasis on choosing A Level subjects which meet your aspirations. We will help you in making those choices.

To maximise your chances of achieving the best grades at A Level, we will advise you about subject combinations. This is not to limit your choice, but to help you in taking your next step to university or into employment.
