There are particular subjects which may be required or expected for entry to certain degree courses. These requirements may change as universities adjust their expectations, but at present the following guidelines should be borne in mind.

Your academic support team include: your tutor, your teachers, the subject Head of Department, U6 Subject Mentors, your Boarding Housemistress and the Head of Sixth Form.  We also have our Academic Mentoring department to support those with any additional learning needs.  Subject clinics are also available where, on Tuesday - Friday, a supervised period of 30 minutes allows you to access additional subject support. If appointed as a Subject Mentor you may also be asked to help lead in clinics and assist younger girls, consolidating your own subject knowledge and confidence as you do so. Subject Mentors particularly enjoy this opportunity to develop their higher order thinking skills and learn more through teaching.
