At Waingels, we offer a two-year programme of study.

- Extended Project Qualification *This is an additional qualification which requires students to complete their own research project. This runs from March Year 12 to March Year 13
Making the Right Choices
The purpose of education is to open doors, and allow our students to pursue passions and interests. It is important that, when making decisions about your Sixth Form courses, you consider a number of things. These may include:
- Your interest in the subject,
- The entry requirement of the courses and pathways you may take,
- The university or further study you are considering, to ensure you are selecting the best subjects for progression.
In making these decisions students should seek advice and guidance from parents, tutors and subject teachers.
