Outwood P16 Centre: A Level Information and Advice Event - Tuesday 17 November 2026

If your son / daughter is considering studying A level qualifications in September 2027 this event provides essential subject specific information for each of the subjects we offer at the Centre.  We offer a wide range of A Level subjects alongside vocational courses.   These can be found on our website: https://www.post16worksop.outwood.com/subject-overviews.  Subject specific information pages will be available at the event.  A copy of the subject blocking sheet is also attached.

Outwood Post 16 Centre’s annual Information and Advice event will take place on Tuesday 17 November.   There will be a choice of two time slots for the evening which parents/students can opt into for the evening, either 4.45pm or 5.45pm.  The dedicated button named ‘How to Apply’ at the bottom of the homepage of our website provides the link to a google form for booking purposes (https://www.post16worksop.outwood.com).

Both time slots will commence with a formal presentation by the Head of Centre for approximately 15 minutes after which, teaching staff and students will be available in individual subject locations so that you can ask questions, speak with current students and view student work. Subject sessions will be a combination of a formal presentation, an overview of the subject and a question and answer session. A plan of the subject specific locations will be available on arrival and we would ask that if the location is busy, you attend a different subject that you are considering and return later.  A copy of the schedule for the event is attached.

The minimum entry qualifications to full time A Level study is 5 passes at GCSE (9-4) including a grade 4 or above in Maths and / or English.  Some subjects have specific entry requirements which will be clearly outlined on the subject specific information pages (both on the website and at the event). Full A Levels take two years to complete.

Following the event on the 17th November, and as part of the application process, students are required to complete an online Application Form.  You can access the application form by selecting ‘Information’ followed by ‘Application Process’ on the home page of our website.  The link to the application form is at the bottom of the ‘Application Process’ page.  The deadline for applications is Friday 4th December 2026.

Outwood Academy Valley students will have an assembly on Monday 12th October and Outwood Academy Portland students will have an assembly on Monday 2nd November providing further information regarding Outwood Post 16 Centre and their Post-16 options.

If you are planning to apply to University following the completion of your A Levels, we would strongly advise you research the required A Levels for your preferred university course, prior to completing the application form, using the UCAS website.

We hope you find the event informative and helpful in your decision-making and we look forward to welcoming you to the Centre on Tuesday 17 November.
