Our Curriculum
The East Dulwich Sixth Form curriculum provides an educational offer for students who have a breadth of subject interests.
The curriculum is designed for students who will thrive in an educational environment where the rigours and demands of the different subjects are embraced and taught in a supportive manner without compromising the academic challenges of Sixth Form study.
We offer a broad and balanced curriculum made up of academic A Levels and vocational Applied General or Technical Levels, all at Level 3.
A Levels are assessed predominately through external examinations, while vocational courses have a greater percentage of assessed coursework, in addition to some exam assessments. Students can choose to follow either an A Level or vocational pathway or a combination of both. Whichever pathway a student follows - all A Levels, all vocational qualifications or a mix of both - the aim is to build upon the foundation knowledge and skills gained throughout their Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 study and to prepare students for top class destinations.
At the point of enrolment, students are guided in their course choices so that they follow a cohesive and coherent programme of study where the content and skills of the individual subjects complement each other, as well as furnishing students with a depth of cultural, social and intellectual ideas. The entry requirements for all courses offered can found here: www.harrissixthform.org.uk/654/entry-requirements

All courses are taught by subject specialists who demonstrate and model the proficiency and scholarship needed to be successful students of their chosen discipline. As well as being authorities in their particular subject, Sixth Form teachers are expected to be exponents of excellent pedagogy and classroom practice so that the classroom becomes a place where students are fully engaged and participate in a dialogical education informed by criticism, reflection and analytical reasoning.
