Ashton on Mersey School has a reputation for delivering an innovative and effective curriculum to suit the needs of all learners. Our Sixth Form builds on this to provide a seamless transition through our 16-19 curriculum. Learning pathways focus on BTEC qualifications.
Our Curriculum complies with the 16 to 19 study programme requirements:
The Sixth Form offers a choice of four pathways, to ensure that you achieve your full potential. All our pathways at Level 3 provide a platform for access to university, apprenticeship or employment. If you already have a career in mind, you can select your pathway to match your career choice.
Business | Construction | Creative Digital Media | Sport
Accountancy | Extended Project Qualification (EPQ)
Applied Psychology Extended Certificate
If you have a career in mind, you can select your pathway to match your career choice:
For example to study a degree in Sport and Business Management, you could follow Pathway 2 and select to study two courses, e.g. (Business and Sport), gaining valuable experience in both
subject areas.
If you have a passion for one subject area and wanted to pursue this at university, Pathway 1 would provide you with the right opportunity to develop your knowledge and experience to do this.
Our pathways provide a wide range of options to enable you to pursue your chosen degree pathway.
Following a career pathway into an apprenticeship or employment will allow you to develop your knowledge and experience in the world of work, where you can earn while you learn.
For example if you wanted to pursue an apprenticeship or career in Business and Finance you could chose to study Business and complement this with Accountancy by following Pathway 3.
Alternatively if your passion is Construction, then you can select a more subject specific route,
Pathway 1 and focus on your chosen career goal.
