Choosing the Right Courses for You
While GCSE qualifications provide students with a range of options as they prepare for the world of work, A-Levels and BTECs allow them to develop deeper knowledge and expertise in specialised subjects.
At Ernest Bevin Academy, students can choose from four pathways, enabling them to create the academic combinations that best suit their needs and aspirations. Each pathway opens doors to future opportunities at university and in the workplace.
Our four pathways are:
Academic Pathway
The traditional Sixth Form route, where students select three A-Level qualifications, with a focus on academic development.
Vocational Pathway
A career-focused route where students select BTEC qualifications designed to develop practical skills and prepare them for vocational opportunities.
Hybrid Pathway
Combining the best of both options, this pathway allows students to select a mix of A-Levels and BTECs, opening up a range of future opportunities.
Scholarship Pathway
Designed for students aspiring to study at Oxbridge or Russell Group universities, or to pursue medicine, this pathway provides additional support to help students prepare strong university applications. Please note that entry to this pathway is by invitation only.
