Sixth Form stuff again
If I stay at Newstead I will be wanting to do 5 A levels (which probably isn't too feasible - they don't want people to take subjects they only want to take for AS cos dropping subjects costs them money, boo hoo, but i think i could cope with doing 5 both years):
Classics
Art
English Lit
Politics
Physics
But I went to look around Christ the King Sixth Form College which is nearby in Lewisham today and it was a lot better than I had expected. If I went there I would probably do:
Fine Art
Graphic Design
English Lang + Lit combined course
Politics (or possibly Photography)
There are many benefits to both of them, which i shall hope to outline here, mainly for my own use, but advice will be greatly appreciated!
Newstead:
I can take Classics. WITH MR DEANE.
I think it'll be more fun (though probably not more relaxed)
I know people (students AND teachers)
Will get good grades
Will get a good reference
Don't have to do compulsory RS
Less change, I'll only really be settling in to CtK before I have to leave again
There's no 'you can only take one subject from each block'
Christ The King:
I can take lots of art subjects - especially Graphic Design, the work they had on show was much more off the sort of stuff I want to do
Opportunity to do English Language, which I think would probably find a lot more interesting, it's more sorta psycholinguistics-y.
It's much much nearer than Newstead
Don't have to do any compulsory PE/CAS
No dress code
It's specifically for 16-19yr olds
There's no 'you can only take one subject from each block'
