Build Your Future, Your Way

Our A Level provision has been designed to give you the flexibility to study the subjects you enjoy while helping you prepare for university, degree apprenticeships and future careers.

At Oaklands, you'll benefit from outstanding teaching, personalised support and a learning environment designed to help you achieve your full potential. We're proud to be ranked 7th in the UK for achievement rates, reflecting our commitment to academic excellence and student success.

We've refreshed our A Level offer to combine academic excellence with outstanding enrichment opportunities, creating a balanced and ambitious study experience that supports both your personal and professional development.

Whether your ambitions lie in medicine, engineering, law, business, sport, teaching or the creative industries, Oaklands provides a clear pathway to success.

Programmes That Work for You

To provide greater choice, clearer progression routes and a more effective timetable, students select one subject from each of three option blocks, creating a personalised programme tailored to their interests and aspirations.

Our subjects are grouped into future-focused pathways, helping students choose combinations that align with their intended university course or career destination.

This approach allows you to build a programme that supports your ambitions while keeping your options open for the future.

Develop Skills Beyond the Classroom

We don't measure success by exam results alone.

Alongside their studies, all A Level students take part in either an Oaklands Wolves Sports Academy or an enrichment programme designed to develop the qualities that universities and employers value most.

These experiences help students build confidence, independence, teamwork, communication and leadership skills while exploring interests beyond their chosen subjects.

Whether you're leading a project, debating current affairs, developing business ideas or competing in sport, you'll have opportunities to challenge yourself and stand out from the crowd.
