Greenhead College Applications

For History, you can do Medieval or Modern, whichever you choose you have to do the opposite coursework, for example if you pick Medieval, in your A2 year you will have to do Modern coursework if you continue to study it. I have a really good History teacher, it's quite hard to pick up at first because of all the new words and topics but after 2 weeks it comes together really well and now I'm enjoying it quite alot. I would recommend taking it, I really like it! The sources can be challenging but all the same it's very interesting! If you do well at GCSE, you will do well at A-level. It's 25 mark questions, you just have to debate similar to the longer GCSE questions!

OK cheers- I'm really looking forward to it. Quite a lot of people from my current school go to Greenhead and they said they enjoyed it.

Are you put into sets?

Yes, its really good once you've settled in! No you aren't put into sets, all classes are mixed

. Good. I like being in mixed classes, at my current high school we're setted for nearly everything- so there's a lot of academic inter-school competition

Everyone there is keen to do well so there is no messing about, so mixed classes arent bad whereas at high school you tend to get people who don't want to work! It's a really good atmosphere, everyone works hard and you are trusted and treated like an adult! Yes it was always like that at my school! Haha.. It will all make sense once you're there anyway! I could explain about how your timetable works but it won't mean anything at the minute, your lessons are on blocks!

Thanks for all your help haha. I can't wait for the open evening now [/QUOTE
I'm helping out on the day time one in November in Chemistry if you visit again!! Hope you enjoy it!!! It was so crowded at the first one last year!

Yes, anything extra-curricular will boost your application, all of those will help you very much! The more you do the better, they write it down on the sheet in your interview and its one of the things they ask about and focus on. They love it when you are a rounded person and do things outside of school!!

6A's and 2B's is definitely enough, so don't stress out. My friends did worse than that and got onto some good courses there. Greenhead will look at your mocks probably more than your targets, so if you got A*s in your mocks last year then I'm sure you'll be able to get A's and A*'s again! Besides, even with B and C grade mocks, people were offered places. We did our mocks in December and those were the grades they were interested in for us, I think most schools do them around November- January so you will have those grades in time for your application! I applied through UCAS and I had to enter my predictions onto there myself. Greenhead do put alot of emphasis on mocks but unless you go to a private school, even if you get B's you will be accepted. I went to a school in Wakefield, but people from Greenhead travel from all over. I sit next to people from 2 hours away in some lessons! Which subjects are you considering?
