A Level

A level pathway

Years 12 and 13 students (called 'Higher Line' at Stonyhurst) will choose three or four A level subjects and they are also given the opportunity to choose an additional qualification such as an EPQ, to complement, and offer breadth to their A level studies.

Why choose A levels?

If you have a clear preference for certain subjects and know exactly where your interests lie, A Levels provide an excellent opportunity to study fewer subjects in detail. A Levels are traditional, academic qualifications, highly valued by universities and employers alike. We offer a range of A Level subjects most of which are regarded as facilitating subjects for entrance to the UK’s most prestigious universities.
