Key Stage 5

Post 16 provision at Winterbourne Academy includes a range of academic and diverse courses to suit every student, with a dedicated ICT provision and Sixth Form Library.

At Post 16 (Year 12 and 13), we offer very rich provision at Level 3 with access to well over 30 different qualifications; we are proud that the partnership across Olympus Academy Trust schools means that a full offer of high quality A Level and vocational courses is possible across all curriculum areas. We are committed to enabling all students to access all university options, including Oxbridge and Russell Group, as well as ensuring students are aware of all Post 18 pathways, including Level 4 apprenticeships available to them locally and nationally. We also provide a supportive core programme which develops the necessary skills for all students for life after school.  

Currently over 30 Level 3 subjects are offered, the majority of which are A Level courses, with some BTECs and Technical courses also available for a more practical approach to learning. All students in Year 12 also study the Core Extended Project Qualification (EPQ).

Most students now study 3 A Levels + an EPQ throughout Year 12 and Year 13, but where appropriate a few choose to study 4 A Level Subjects. All students also have a dedicated 1 hour Tutor Period per fortnight, with this time used for UCAS Support, PSHE delivery, etc. The Academy is currently developing its ‘wider’ curriculum opportunities, including Work Experience, Mentoring Younger Students Programme, etc.
