Our Study Programmes

We have three distinct learning pathways, consisting of a range of A Levels and a variety of BTEC Level 2 and Level 3 courses.

This means you can tailor your learning based on your individual strengths, passions and aspirations. 

Pathways

Aspirational Pathway

This pathway is designed with breadth and depth in mind. Students who want to study a variety of different subjects or begin to focus on a particular area. The Aspirational Pathway is a way to keep your future options open whilst progressing through the next two years of academic life. At QE6 we offer A levels as well as BTEC Level 3 choices on the Aspirational Pathway. You will need to study 3 or 4 courses (one of which could be a BTEC National Extended Certificate) and you may also have the option to add an EPQ.

Innovative Pathway

This pathway is designed to develop a students' understanding of a specific vocational area and provides work based opportunities through real life experiences. Students on the Innovative Pathway will select one BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma. Those students who have gained a Grade 3 in either English Language or Maths GCSEs will also be required to resit this qualification.

Impactful

This pathway offers students the opportunity to continue their progress on Level 2 courses and gain Maths and English GCSE qualifications. This pathway helps to prepare students for employment and progression to higher level courses. Students will study Maths and/or English GCSE alongside a Level 2 core qualification and have the opportunity to complete work experience.
