Pupils wishing to study post 16 in St Malachy’s College will be guided by the Criteria for Admission to Sixth Form.
The Sixth Form Curriculum aims to build upon the foundations laid in KS4. The College tries to accommodate any combination of subjects. Pupils normally study three subjects for AS and those with a strong GCSE performance are encouraged to study a fourth subject at GCE AS-level. Most students take three subjects through to A2 level but some may continue to study four.
