How does the College view applications from students who have taken applied and/or vocational GCSEs as part of their GCSE programme?
A. We recognise that many students will be taking at least one vocational/applied course at key stage 4. The inclusion of an applied/vocational course in a students programme does not of itself advantage or disadvantage the application in any way. What matters is that the students key stage 4 programme provides a suitably balanced range of courses to ensure successful progression onto their chosen AS/A level courses.
