Ashbourne’s highly successful one-year A level courses are designed for dedicated and able students aiming for outstanding A level results.
Ashbourne’s one-year A level courses are ideal for students committed to working hard and taking advantage of the individual attention and guidance the college offers to get the grades required.
For example, a former one-year A level student achieved four A*s in Further Maths, Maths, Physics and Italian. He went on to study Discrete Mathematics at Warwick University.
Extra teaching time
The one-year A level courses are structured so students are able to complete the entire syllabus in a relaxed and confident manner with plenty of time for revision. This is possible because class sizes are small and we allocate far more teaching time than is typical.
A levels in one year
One-year A level courses are a great option for students taking four A levels. For example, they may be able to sit A level Maths in one year then continue with Further Maths in the following year, plus two other subjects over two years. It is also a good choice for students transferring from another school after Year 12 or for international or IB students wishing to take up A levels and go to a top UK university.
Around 64% of our students applying for degree courses in the UK go on to study at Russell Group universities, including UCL, King’s College London, Imperial, Warwick and Cambridge.
Ashbourne offers the individual attention and comprehensive support to help students not only attain the grades they require but importantly to make well-planned and compelling applications for university.
One former one-year A level student studying Further Maths, Maths and Physics attained 3 A*s and went on to study Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning at Imperial College, London.
Each A level student is assigned a dedicated Personal Tutor who is an experienced UCAS advisor. They guide and support students throughout their time at the college in all aspects of their academic programme and personal development.
This includes one-to-one UCAS support, from choosing the right course, undertaking super curricular activities, writing a personal statement and interview practice to accepting the best offer.
Students take classes in small groups, usually fewer than 10 students. This means they can engage more effectively in lessons and receive plenty of one-to-one attention from the teacher.
Teachers are able to offer detailed feedback to help students gauge progress and highlight areas for improvement.
Exam technique is crucial for achieving outstanding A level results so students get lots of past paper practice throughout the course and are set mock exams every half term.
One of our one-year A level students went on to study Film, Photography and Media at Leeds University after achieving A*AAC in Russian, Film, Media and English Literature.
Each half term (six weeks) students sit mock exams based on previous exam paper questions, after which they receive a progress report.
I cannot recommend Ashbourne enough for anyone with a drive and a passion to succeed. You will thrive.
