Stand Out with Extend

Students looking to get more from their college experience can now discover how the innovative Extend programme is helping ambitious learners stand out from the crowd.

Designed exclusively for A Level students, Extend is a unique academic enrichment programme that encourages students to challenge themselves, explore new opportunities, and build the skills needed for university, careers, and beyond.

When studying A Levels, students typically follow a four-part programme made up of three core A Levels – or a combination of two A Levels and a BTEC Extended Certificate – alongside a personalised fourth option through Extend. This additional element allows students to tailor their studies to suit their interests, aspirations, and future plans.

For high-achieving students who thrive on academic challenge, Extend can even include the opportunity to study an additional A Level, subject to GCSE grades. Alternatively, some learners may choose to combine their studies with a Sports Academy programme, offering a balance of academic achievement and sporting excellence.

You could explore cutting-edge subjects through AI, Data Science and Geospatial Intelligence, investigate the mysteries of the universe in Astrophysics and Particle Physics Research, or build confidence and leadership skills in Public Speaking and Persuasive Communication.

Whether students are aiming for top universities, professional careers, or simply want to make the most of their time in further education, Extend offers the opportunity to broaden horizons, build ambition, and truly stand out.
