Two people in my year group, who did quite well at GCSE, plan to do foundation year in aeronautical engineering after Year 12. One will have ASs in Physics, Biology and Maths, and the other will have ASs in Physics, Chemistry and Maths. I changed schools for sixth form and went from a large, Humanities- centric school which was very ''British school'' in culture (Lots of people did year 13, went on to do proper courses in their desired fields in the UK), to a smaller, science- centric and overall very less English school, where nearly all the students believe that foundation is an alternative to year 13. This confuses me as I thought foundation years were meant to be taken by people who didn't meet their entry requirements for their course, or people who did not take the relevant subjects for the course they wished to study. They're both predicted AAA/AAB/ABB for their AS exams, and as previously stated, have mainly A*-A grades in most subjects.Please could someone clear this up for me?
