For Year 11 students we add the option of English as a 1st language for those who require it. Alongside their option choices they will also take the Ministry Islamic and recreational PE. AS Levels are the Level 3 qualification and the equivalent of half an A level, several of our students require these qualifications to enter their chosen universities. We are successfully running the following options for students to study: Arabic, Biology, Business Studies, Chemistry, Economics, English, ICT, Maths and Physics. Students can follow AS options in Year 11 depending on their IGCSE options, blocking and their requirements for university. The running of all courses is dependent on student take up and staff availability.
