Curriculum
Each course of studies followed by Sixth Form students is unique to them and based on their individual needs. The course package is determined after a very careful period of consultation during the induction process which starts in the November of Year 11.
Astor prides itself on the range of A levels it can offer. Many students who study intermediate courses in Year 12 stay on in order to complete Advanced courses over a further two years.
