A-Level Preparation
Michaela Sixth Form, Wembley
Wherever you study, A-levels are very challenging. There is a huge amount to learn in just 18 months.
At Michaela6th, we aim for the best grades and places at excellent universities, so the leap from GCSE to A-level is even more challenging. Most Russell Group universities demand A*s and As at A-level.
Across the country:
- Pupils achieving 7s in all their GCSEs normally achieve Cs at A-level.
- Pupils achieving 8s in all their GCSEs normally achieve Bs at A-level.
- Pupils achieving 9s in all their GCSEs normally achieve Bs and As at A-level.
This means that if you are hoping to attend a Russell Group university, you must work far harder than the majority of A-level students to achieve the necessary A* and A grades at A-level.
Specialist teachers have created bespoke preparation work for all of our incoming Year 12 students. You can find this work below.
