• It is exciting and a measure of our success that the overwhelming majority of our students choose to go to university at the end of their A Level or Level 3 BTEC course.
• All of the year group who wanted to go to University last summer were successful in securing their places at University. The majority of students secured places at Universities of their choice including Southampton, Kings College London and Queen Mary to name a few.
• Those students who do not wish to go to university are given excellent guidance and support regarding their next step by the school.
POST SIXTH FORM
![Page 9: MAYFIELD SCHOOL. MA A lively and stimulating environment where students can develop and succeed Effective learning opportunities for all Suitable.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649ce65503460f949b380e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
“Provision in the Sixth Form provides appropriate learning pathways for students to go on to further education and employment.”

Three reasons you may want to continue to study a subject at a higher level are:
1. You have been good at and have enjoyed the subject in the past.
2. You need this subject to enter a particular career or course.
3. You have not studied the subject before but have looked into it and think it will suit your strengths.
MAKING YOUR POST-16 SUBJECT CHOICES
![Page 11: MAYFIELD SCHOOL. MA A lively and stimulating environment where students can develop and succeed Effective learning opportunities for all Suitable.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649ce65503460f949b380e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
1. Subjects are distinctly more difficult at an advanced level than at GCSE
2. Make sure you have got your facts straight. There are many misconceptions about subjects required for courses and careers. Look at the UCAS website.
3. Don’t take uninformed risks. What is the new subject actually about?
4. Does your performance match your ambition?
FURTHER CONSIDERATIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT
![Page 12: MAYFIELD SCHOOL. MA A lively and stimulating environment where students can develop and succeed Effective learning opportunities for all Suitable.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649ce65503460f949b380e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

1. Know what you want to study? Check the entry requirements.
2. Not sure yet? – Keep your options open.
3. GCSEs and other standard level qualifications matter…
