Subjects such as English Language, Sociology, Psychology and Physical Education are particularly complementary, as they help develop an understanding of learning, behaviour, communication and child development. However, this qualification works well alongside any A Level programme, helping students build valuable professional skills such as communication, organisation, teamwork and problem-solving that support success across a wide range of academic and career pathways. #### **WHAT WILL I LEARN?** You will develop a strong understanding of how people learn and how effective learning experiences are planned, delivered and evaluated. Through a combination of theory and practical application, you will learn how to design inclusive learning sessions, communicate effectively with parents and professionals, adapt learning to meet individual needs, carry out risk assessments and evaluate assessment data. The course also develops valuable transferable skills in communication, decision-making, problem-solving and planning, preparing you for further study and careers within education and related sectors. #### **HOW WILL I BE ASSESSED?** Assessment is through a combination of externally assessed examinations and internally assessed practical coursework. 40% of the qualification is assessed through end-of-course assessments, while 60% is assessed through practical, applied and project-based tasks (Non-Examined Assessment). This approach allows you to demonstrate both your understanding of educational theory and your ability to apply your knowledge in realistic education and learning contexts. #### **WHERE COULD IT LEAD ME?** This qualification provides an excellent foundation for a wide range of higher education courses and career pathways. Students may progress to degree programmes in Education Studies, Primary Education, Early Childhood Studies, Childhood and Youth Studies, or combined courses such as Education with Sociology or Psychology. It can also support entry into apprenticeships and employment within the education and childcare sectors. The transferable skills developed throughout the course are valued across many professions that involve communication, planning, leadership and working with others. **Exam Board :** Please contact Ms Lewis . ### Related News ![Image of Year 13 Trip to Jesus College, Cambridge](https://files.schudio.com/william-perkin-cofe-high-school/imagecache/720x440c/news/IMG_1187.jpeg) 28 September 2026 ### [Year 13 Trip to Jesus College, Cambridge](https://williamperkin.org.uk/news/2026-09-28-year-13-trip-to-jesus-college-cambridge) ![Image of Year 12 Students attend ‘Becoming a Barrister Day’ hosted by the Junior Legal Fellowship Programme](https://files.schudio.com/william-perkin-cofe-high-school/imagecache/720x440c/news/IMG_2698.jpeg) 4 June 2026 ### [Year 12 Students attend ‘Becoming a Barrister Day’ hosted by the Junior Legal Fellowship Programme](https://williamperkin.org.uk/news/2026-06-04-year-12-students-attend-becoming-a-barrister-day-hosted-by-the-junior-legal-fellowship-pr) ![Image of Year 12 visit to IBM offices](https://files.schudio.com/william-perkin-cofe-high-school/imagecache/720x440c/news/processed-38B81895-1FF1-49A6-9386-104804FCFD20.jpeg) 28 April 2026 ### [Year 12 visit to IBM offices](https://williamperkin.org.uk/news/2026-04-28-year-12-visit-to-ibm-offices-1) [View All News](https://williamperkin.org.uk/news/tag/sixth-form) ### Related Blog Posts [![](https://files.schudio.com/william-perkin-cofe-high-school/imagecache/1440x880c/blog/istockphoto-1127115457-612x612.jpg)](https://williamperkin.org.uk/blog/2026-10-01-15-46-alumni-visits) 1 October 2026 #### [Alumni visits](https://williamperkin.org.uk/blog/2026-10-01-15-46-alumni-visits) In just the past two weeks, we've had three visits from William Perkin alumni.
