Partly because of its objective to give a broad approach to education, Oswestry offers a wide range of academic subjects from which to choose, especially in the sixth form. Pupils are given an unusual degree of freedom in their choice of subjects at all levels. Considerable guidance is available to pupils (and their parents) in their selection of subject choices.

Some pupils find the process of choosing Sixth Form subjects straightforward; their interests and enthusiasms focus on particular disciplines. For others, choosing just a few subjects, after studying a broad range to GCSE, can be difficult. If this is the case for you, don’t worry. Sound advice is at hand and the decision is probably not irrevocable.
