A Level Selection

Our timetable optimises the effectiveness of the school day at Lancing in order to make the best of the teaching and learning opportunities of our pupils.

Our specialist Sixth Form staff and Tutors work with pupils individually during the Fifth Form to start to consider A Level options; these are finalised after GCSEs.

Lancing encourages pupils to choose four subject options at A Level, with/without an Extended Project Qualification.


The Sixth Form Choice 2023 booklet provides information about each subject, and the course requirements.

SIXTH FORM CHOICE 2023


During the penultimate Fifth Form term pupils make provisional A Level subject selections.

This information informs the blocking system, which changes slightly each year. The Options Grid for 2023 is available below.

Pupils in the Sixth Form are well-served by knowledgeable teachers who have high expectations and an infectious enthusiasm for their subjects. Results at A Level in 2016 indicate pupils make excellent progress, with over half of grades achieved at A* or A.
