When selecting a subject at A-Levels, students must realise that they are moving towards a course in preparation for university and career. The complexities of each A-Level subject is much higher than GCSE/IGCSE and would provide a greater challenge and require a much higher level of commitment and rigour.

Students at HIS Sixth Form are set up for success, aiming to stretch their potential and achieve the best grades possible, providing them the best opportunities to gain entry into top universities.
Understanding that the GCE A-Levels is a rigorous curriculum that builds upon student's understanding in GCSE and IGCSE and would challenge them beyond what they have experienced thus far, we have set a subject requirement for each subject at A-Levels. The intake requirements take into account the student's aptitude, understanding, skills and knowledge in specific subjects at GCSE/ IGCSE that would best allow the student to access the curriculum at the standards of the A-Levels.
Below is a chart with the intake requirement for each subjects at A-Levels:
