Over 40 Courses
One of the great attractions of the Norton Hill Sixth Form is the quality and quantity of courses to choose from. You can choose from more than 40 courses including AS and A2 levels and BTECs.

With so much to choose from, you may need some advice on the combination of courses that exactly fits your interest,

abilities and ambitions. So find out about the courses that interest you, discuss the opportunities at home over the next few months and check the advice in this prospectus.

Students received an average point score of 311 – equivalent of more than 3 B grades

A Fresh Way to Study 
In the Sixth Form you study subjects in depth. You are more responsible for your learning and creativity, for the direction of your studies and for planning your private study. In most courses much of the work is done in your own study time.

The students around you are well motivated, and increasingly the emphasis is more on working with your teachers than working for them.

The rewards for this are in discovering yourself, becoming more self-confident, articulate, able to work on your own initiative, as well as gaining valuable qualifications.
