Curriculum Booklet

We cater not only for students who wish to study AS and A2 levels but also students wishing to follow a more vocational route. We offer a BTEC First Diploma in Business - Level 2, a BTEC National Certificate in Business - Level 3 and a BTEC National Certificate in Applied Sciences (Medical Science) - Level 3. Please see our Curriculum Booklet for more information about these and our AS/A2 courses.

Please read our Prospectus carefully to make sure you are aware of course details and entry requirements. We require 5 passes at A*-C grade at GCSE (not including short courses) to study AS levels; students with lower grades are eligible for the BTEC course. Some subjects have specific entry requirements; please check the subject page within the prospectus.

The AS/A2 subjects currently offered are:

Further Mathematics is offered where and when there is demand. Several subjects also put students forward for the Advanced Extension Award where appropriate.

Maidenhead Federation

As Newlands operates within a consortium of Maidenhead schools (Furze Platt, Cox Green, Altwood and Desborough Boys’ School), students who choose a subject in Option E may find that it is timetabled at another school. Groups of Year 12 and Year 13 travel out on Tuesday mornings and Thursday afternoons to attend lessons at one of the other schools. This is an excellent opportunity to meet new people and gain an experience of education outside of Newlands. Students are supported by both host and base schools and find the experience enjoyable and rewarding.

Subjects currently offered through the Consortium in 2012-13 are:
