A Level Sciences

Biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics taught in small sixth form groups, with university style practical work and a research project.

Sixth form science at Corvin is taught in groups of up to twelve, giving every student plenty of time at the bench and with their teachers.

Course structure

Students usually take three A levels from biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics and further mathematics.

All science students complete the practical endorsement and are encouraged to add an Extended Project in a science topic.

Our sixth form team supports applications to university courses in medicine, engineering and the natural sciences, as well as degree apprenticeships.
