Our IGCSE and A-Level preparation programmes help international students settle into UK school life and feel confident and ready for the next stage of their education. With tailored academic support, dedicated English language development and inspiring enrichment opportunities, students build strong foundations, academically, personally and socially, before moving into GCSE or A-Level study at d'Overbroeck's.
The A Level Preparation program is designed for students who are 16-17 years old* and provides the perfect January/April entry point for those who want to progress on to study A Levels. The course is designed to develop the key academic skills needed to excel at A Levels, whilst providing a targeted academic English course to develop fluency in all aspects of the language. The course is the perfect preparation to enable students to achieve superb results within the A Level curriculum. The course is an 8-term commitment (completing A Levels in June 2028), and all students are expected to progress on to A Level study. *Students must be aged under 18 on 7th September 2026 to progress onto A Levels.
Periods per week (1 hour approx.):
A weekly Activities programme with all Sixth Form students
Directed Study: this will include project work, research and team work to further develop these key skills.
This course focuses on developing the essential academic skills needed for success at A Level, including analysis, evaluation, critical thinking and effective teamwork. Students learn these skills through a subject based approach and have the opportunity to explore a range of new subjects not typically offered before Sixth Form.
The programme helps students make informed choices about their A Level pathways and provides excellent preparation for Sixth Form study at d’Overbroeck’s. It is a non examined course.
Students are based at the Sixth Form alongside the wider Sixth Form community. Each student is supported by a Director of Studies, and the overall programme is overseen by a dedicated Course Director.
d’Overbroeck’s will sponsor students for an 8 term CAS.
