Learning Pathways & Entry Requirements
The Sixth Form at the Piggott School offers a wide range of courses. We welcome students to the Sixth Form who wish to work hard and play an active part in the life of the school.
Three different pathways are offered:
- A Level Pathway
- Level 3 Vocational Pathway

A Level Pathway
Most students will study three subjects. However, four subjects are available after discussion with the Head of Year.
Entry requirements are a best 8 score of 57 points. A minimum of Grade 4 in English and Mathematics is required.
Individual subjects will have their own entry requirements. Students will follow a two-year, linear programme with PPE examinations in June of each year to show progress.
