MORNA INTERNATIONAL IBIZA

'A' level information recently distributed to Year 11 parents and pupils.

Dear students and parents,

In order to plan for ‘A’ level provision, the school will need prospective students to give an indication of their subject choices for Year 12.

‘A’ level courses are divided into two parts, both externally assessed. The Advanced Subsidiary qualification (AS) is normally taken at the end of Year 12 and the full Advanced qualification (A level) at the end of Year 13. In language subjects such as Spanish, proficiency in the language may allow the full ‘A’ level to be taken earlier.

Students should aim to complete the equivalent of either 3 or 4 full ‘A’ levels. They may replace one full ‘A’ level with two ‘AS’ qualifications if they wish to study more subjects. Choices have to take into account possible future decisions about university or college courses and the country in which they may decide to study.

Before making decisions students should consult with their tutor and/or the Headteacher to ensure that their choices are adequate. Parents are welcome to be present at these meetings and should make an appointment through the school office. (Preliminary meetings between students and the Headteacher will be taking place immediately after the mock examinations in January).

There are many different subjects available at ‘A’ level.
Morna International College can offer the following:

English Language
English Literature
Media Studies
German Language
Spanish Language
Mathematics
Physics
Chemistry
Biology
Geography
Art and Design
Music Technology
Applied Information Technology

Not all of these courses are implemented in any one particular year. The final list is established once the preferences and the needs of the students entering Year 12 have been discussed.

Students in Years 12 and 13 also receive classes in:
Physical Education
PSHE (Personal Social and Health Education)
Thinking Skills (this course leads to an extra ‘AS’ qualification)

Students intending to enter Year 12 will be required to submit their options in writing by the end of the second term. Obviously some final adjustments to choices may be made after the publication of the IGCSE results.

Yours truly
Adrian Massam
Headteacher.
