      Decoupled qualifications

      The reformed AS Levels will be stand-alone qualifications in their own right. There will be one examination series each year. The AS will not count towards the final grade of an A Level. The reformed A Levels will be fully linear so assessment of a student’s knowledge and understanding of the whole course takes place at the end of two years of study.

      Co-teaching

      We are carefully designing our AS Levels to be co-taught with the first year of the A Level.

      The content of the AS Level specification is a subset of the content of the A Level specification, which can be taught in the first year of the A Level course. The content you deliver for the AS qualification is the same as the content for the first year of the A Level qualification. This allows AS and A Level learners to be taught together throughout the first year until the AS assessments.
