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 develop fluency, confidence, and accuracy in reading, writing, speaking, and understanding Spanish. The course immerses learners in the cultural, political, and social issues of the Spanish-speaking world through the study of contemporary topics, literary texts, and films. Students explore themes such as modern values, gender equality, immigration, racism, regional identity, music, cinema, and political movements. They also study one literary work and one film from a set list — examples include La casa de Bernarda Alba or Volver. These topics are paired with advanced grammar and translation skills to strengthen overall linguistic ability.

Assessment takes place at the end of Year 13 through three final exams: a Listening, Reading, and Writing paper (50%), a Writing paper based on the film and text studied (20%), and a Speaking exam (30%) including an individual research project. Grades awarded are A*-E.

A Levels: 5 GCSEs at grade 5-9, including English and mathematics and grade 6 in Spanish
