A-Levels

Welcome to Shooters Hill Sixth Form College's A-Level Programmes dedicated to encourage students to Aspire, Perform and Excel.

At SHC we have created a vibrant and diverse community, where valuing others, including their beliefs and attitudes, is central to college life. We have a strong culture of respect and tolerance, where students are confident to be themselves.  

Our teachers have high expectations of students as young adults, and we strive to ensure that all our students have a positive experience of learning at the College. Our teachers, as expert practitioners, continually seek to develop their practice and to equip learners with the skills they need to learn independently.

Our A level students have access to excellent resources, housed in the APEX (Aspirational Pathway to Excellence) building. Students benefit from their own common room, study space and library in addition to all the other college facilities. 

Students will develop a variety of wider skills that will prepare them for Higher Education, Degree Apprenticeships and the world of work. SHC has a very strong tutorial and academic support provision, supported by our Head of Year 1 and Head of Year 2. Our wide-ranging enrichment and sports offer enables students to engage in extra-curricular activities and to benefit from a wide variety of educational visits and external speakers, giving students the chance to learn new skills, meet fellow students and become a valued member of our SHC community. 

As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, we ensure that students have a voice. We frequently seek students’ views on all aspects of study and learning as this helps us to improve professionally and ensures that all learners have the opportunity to achieve their potential. 

As a part of our A level Programme, you’ll have access to a wide range of benefits to help you thrive both academically, and as an individual. We will help you to achieve your qualifications and pick up extra knowledge along the way.
