1. New A and AS Levels Getting best outcomes for young people

2. What we already know What Steve Evans told us Content and specifications now available for A Level and AS Level in 2015 subjects Co-teaching is at least a possibility (all or some subjects) CPD for will be necessary Cambridge Uni and others would like AS results for HE selection Schools and colleges are still unsure what to offer

3. What we are still thinking about How to mix ‘new’ and ‘old’ subjects so students have a coherent experience Whether to go for linear only or keep AS as end- of-Yr 1 assessment Will 4 x AS in Yr. 12 still be attractive/affordable If students take AS, will this impact on attainment at end of linear exam? How do we maintain quality of T&L ? How much will A Level + AS cost compared to now – is it affordable? What will the maths A/AS look like? Implications?

4. Options? Start all students on 4 A Levels and they decide in spring term which will be their AS only – entered for this exam and continue with 3 A levels Start all students on 4 A Levels and they choose by Y13 which 3 they want to continue with – they may or may not have an AS Level Start all students on 4 A Levels and enter them all for AS in every subject – they can use the AS results to help them decide which 3 to continue with Limit all students to 3 A Level courses in Y12 and do not offer any AS courses Ask students to choose 1 AS and 3 A Level courses at the beginning of Y12

5. Issues? Managing teaching of mixed groups – AS and A Level students in same class? Is our offer different to local schools? Funding implications? Impact on university entry?
