Most internal and external students transition into LS6 with a clear specialism in either Sport or Performing Arts. Students can study vocational BTECs or a combination of both BTEC and A-level qualifications – all entirely dependent on their own career pathways.

PATHWAY 1 – Specialism Only

• 3 A-level equivalent BTEC course in either Performing Arts or Sport
• Technical training in Performing Arts or Sport

This pathway is suitable for those students who wish to study and train purely for their specialism.

PATHWAY 2- Specialism with A-level(s)

• 2 A-level equivalent BTEC course in either Performing Arts or Sport
• Technical training in Performing Arts or Sport
• 1 academic A-level subject

This pathway is suitable for those students who wish to study and train for a dual career.

It may be possible for academically able students to complete the BTEC Extended Diploma and 1 or 2 A-levels meaning a total of 4 or 5 A-levels at the end of the two years at LS6. This is at the discretion of Specialism Leads and Senior Leaders.

If you don’t receive the entry requirements, we will always have discussions surrounding your application.
