AQA Bacc

Why study the AQA Baccalaureate?

The AQA Baccalaureate is a composite qualification which recognises students who have shown a willingness to develop their educational experiences and shown personnel growth beyond their academic study. In addition it:

  • • Clearly demonstrates the skills and personal qualities which employers and universities are looking for.
    • Provides breadth of experience.
    • Promotes independent learning, self management and research skills through the
    completion of an extended project.
    • Helps students see education in a wider context and encourages lifelong learning.
    • Fosters active citizenship and community involvement.

What do I have to do?

  • By the end of Year 13 you will have:
    • Achieved 3 A levels at E grade or above
    • Achieved E grade or above in Critical Thinking at AS level.
    • Successfully completed an AS level Extended Project Qualification.
    • Completed 100 hours of Enrichment over 2 years.

How will I be assessed?

The level of the AQA Baccalaureate is then dependent on the grades achieved in three GCE subjects at Advanced level and the grade in the Extended Project.

Three A levels and Extended Project each at Grade E or above = AQA Bacc Pass

Three A levels and Extended Project each at Grade C or above = AQA Bacc with Merit

Three A levels and Extended Project each at Grade A or above = AQA Bacc with Distinction.

Entry Requirements

  • • 5 GCSE at C or above including Maths and English
    • Successful completion of specified areas (see above).
