INTRODUCTION TO A LEVEL CHOICES
This is an exciting time in your school career. For the first time you will have the opportunity to choose a study pro-
gramme for the next two years that really reflects your interests and enables you to study these subjects in more
depth.

If you are already studying at Tiffin, the Careers and Progression team are here to support you to make an informed
choice about the best study options for you. We offer impartial advice and guidance and the Year 11 careers pro-
gramme is tailored for you to explore and reflect on your options. For those students thinking about joining us in
September 2024, there will be the opportunity to have a meeting with us at the start of the academic year to talk
through your study programme and any future aspirations.

Having supported many previous cohorts through the process of choosing their A Levels, we have compiled answers
to some common questions that students and parents ask (frequently asked questions).

Please use all of the available information to make informed choices and to make your own choice about what is
right for you.
