Chelsea FC and Kent Crusaders Basketball Instructions:

Students must choose three (3) different subject options from three different Option Blocks (you cannot choose the same subject more than once). If a student is selecting the Chelsea FC or Kent Crusaders options, they will need to pick 3 A Levels/BTECS to study alongside this. Students should ensure they are predicted or have achieved grades that meet the entry criteria for chosen options by consulting the UKAT Sixth Form Course booklet. The blocking structure can be amended dependent on course sign up and other timetabling factors.

Students will study three key components: The World of the Hero focuses on Homer’s Odyssey and Virgil’s Aeneid, exploring the epic tradition and the cultural, religious, and social values of the time. Imperial Image examines the rise of Emperor Augustus and how he shaped his rule through propaganda, literature, and visual imagery. Greek Religion explores the nature of the gods, personal experiences of the divine, and the relationship between religion, society, and philosophy in ancient Greece. Students will engage in the study of the literature, religion, and culture of the ancient world, while also exploring its legacy in the modern era. This course is ideal for students interested in history, mythology, and the foundations of Western society - it deepens their understanding of classical texts and ancient belief systems, and also develops highly transferable skills such as critical thinking, analysis, and effective communication

A Levels: 5 GCSEs at grade 5-9, including grade 6 in English Language, English Literature and History
