Shireland Sixth Form Expands Offering with New Level 2 Courses

Shireland Collegiate Academy has unveiled its new level 2 courses as part of its expanding Sixth Form offering. The courses will be available to current year 11 students for entry in September 2025, with the offer opening to external applicants for September 2026 entry. 

Designed to provide students with the qualifications required for progression onto A level studies, these tailored level 2 courses offer a comprehensive pathway for academic success. Students will have the opportunity to choose from up to three subjects, including IT, Business Studies, Sport, and Social Science, as well as resit English and Maths if necessary to meet the entry requirements for their chosen A level courses. This initiative aims to support students who may have narrowly missed the entry criteria for their preferred level 3 courses, ensuring they receive the academic foundation they need to progress confidently. 

The introduction of these level 2 courses reflects Shireland Collegiate Academy’s commitment to supporting students at every stage of their educational journey. With a flexible curriculum, the programme allows students to tailor their studies according to their interests, while ensuring they acquire the key skills needed for future academic success. 

Shireland Sixth Form is renowned for its strong academic ethos and supportive environment, where students are encouraged to reach their full potential. The addition of the level 2 courses further enhances this reputation, providing students with the tools and guidance they need to succeed—whether they continue their studies at A level with the school or pursue other opportunities. The Academy fosters a culture of innovation, inspiration, and collaboration, ensuring that each student is fully prepared for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. 

Ben Brogan, Head of Sixth Form at Shireland Collegiate Academy, commented: “At Shireland Sixth Form, we understand that every student has a unique educational journey, and our mission is to support them at every stage. These new courses are a fantastic addition, offering a personalised approach to learning that allows students to focus on subjects they are passionate about, while reinforcing their skills in essential areas like English and Maths.” 

“Our commitment to providing support and guidance extends across all levels of education, and we are dedicated to helping students build a strong foundation for future success. As they complete their level 2 studies, we look forward to continue this support as many of them as they progress onto our A level or explore other opportunities.” 

The launch of these courses strengthens Shireland Collegiate Academy’s long-standing reputation for academic excellence and its dedication to supporting the development of students throughout their education.
