Sixth Form

Key Stage 5

Years 12–13 Ages 16–18

In Years 12–13, pupils study Cambridge International A Levels – the gold standard of pre-university education.

A Levels allow pupils to develop in-depth subject expertise and higher-order thinking skills. Pupils learn to evaluate evidence, construct logical arguments, conduct independent research, and communicate with clarity and precision. These rigorous yet flexible qualifications enable pupils to specialise in subjects aligned with their university and career aspirations, building an academic profile suited to leading institutions globally.

At Ardingly Astana, Sixth Form pupils are supported with personalised guidance on subject choices, study skills, university applications and co-curricular opportunities, ensuring they thrive academically while continuing to develop leadership, collaboration and resilience.
