KING’S COLLEGE MURCIA
King’s British Education - Overview
The Key Stages
Key Stage 4 – GCSE & IGCSE
This is an important stage in your child’s education. It is the start of a
two-year programme of study that will culminate in examinations that
are set and marked by examination boards in the U.K
Key Stage 5 – A Levels
This is the two years of preparation towards University. A levels are much
more difficult than GCSEs and far more in depth. Pupils will only study
between 3 and 5 subjects. There is greater emphasis on independence and
analytical thinking.
The Options Process
December – Students have Mock Examinations (Y11)
January – Students give first ideas of what they would like to study.
Presentations, Parents’ evenings and course material distributed.
February – University Fayre and Careers lessons
Spring term – Students have interviews about their choices and discuss
options with teachers and tutors
April – Options event to help with decisions
April – PUPILS MAKE FINAL OPTION CHOICES
August/September – Students can opt for different subjects following results
WE ARE HERE TO OFFER SUPPORT EVERY STEP OF THE WAY
What should I study?
Our pupils receive a lot of guidance about what the best options are for
them.
It is a combination of what they are best at, what they enjoy and what they
need to get into specific courses or careers.
Getting it right is important. It will determine future options, hence
working together as a school, parents and pupils is essential.
Considering Choices
•Do I enjoy it?
•Can I be successful in that subject?
•What subjects do I need to continue my education?
•Can I cope with exams and/or coursework?
•Am I leaving my options open?
•What career/degree do I want to do?
•How many subjects should I take (A Level only)

How many can I study?
The vast majority of students in the UK will study 4 AS levels (year 12) and continue with
3 A Levels in those subjects to A2 level (year 13). Most of our pupils study 4 A Levels.
For students who have a track record of academic excellence, we are able to offer the
option of studying an additional A level, hence 5 A Levels in total.
Ideally, you should be challenged by the amount of subjects you study, but not
overwhelmed.
Where you are planning to study could also influence the number of subjects you take.

You will also be required to sit an interview with the Head of Sixth Form, in which
your school report, predicted grades and attitude to school life will be a focus.
We can explore different options such as studying over three years or looking at
other awards if you are struggling to make the entry requirements. This can be
discussed on an individual basis.

A Levels and entrance into the Spanish
University System
ACCESO A LAS UNIVERSIDADES ESPAÑOLAS A TRAVÉS DE A-LEVELS
Se puede acceder a cualquier universidad española, pública o privada, a través de los exámenes
de A-level y mediante una correspondencia de calificaciones.
La LOE de mayo de 2006, y su subsiguiente reforma LOMCE del 9 de diciembre de 2013, dictan que los
alumnos procedentes de sistemas educativos de Estados miembros de la Unión Europea o de los otros
Estados con los que se hayan suscrito acuerdos internacionales, en régimen de reciprocidad, podrán
acceder a la Universidad española en las mismas condiciones que quienes hayan obtenido el título de
Bachiller recogido en la legislación española(…)
UNED
Los estudiantes de A - Level están legalmente exentos de realizar cualquier otra prueba de final
de bachillerato.
Con la nueva LOMCE es probable que las universidades redacten su propio examen de acceso.
La UNED es el intermediario entre las instituciones españolas y los tribunales de los exámenes
ingleses.
LOMCE
La reforma de la ley educativa en Bachillerato entrará en vigor a partir del curso 2016-17.
Este cambio afectará a aquellos alumnos que ahora se encuentran en Year 12 y los cursos
sucesivos.
Sus exámenes de A-level seguirán contando para nota.
REQUISITOS
1.Notas de Year 12 y las predicciones de las notas de Year 13.
En el caso de los estudiantes procedentes del sistema educativo de Reino Unido, las certificaciones de las
materias del GCSE y GCE deberán ser expedidas por entidades examinadoras reconocidas.
2. Fotocopia compulsada de la certificación académica de los dos últimos cursos de la educación
secundaria. En aquellos sistemas educativos donde se aplique más de una escala de calificaciones positivas
de mínimo a máximo aprobatorio, deberá constar en la certificación académica la escala a emplear.
3. Copia de impresora de la inscripción en la UNED con el resguardo bancario correspondiente al pago de
los precios públicos de verificación de estudios europeos para el acceso a la universidad y tasas
correspondientes (ejemplares nº 1 y nº 2 de este impreso validados y sellados por cualquier Oficina de la
Red Banco Santander, o el justificante de la transacción online o bien el justificante de transferencia sellado
por la entidad bancaria desde la que se realiza)
Acceso provisional que se formaliza en agosto cuando llegan las notas de IGCSE.
Calificaciones y Correspondencias
Ejemplo
Un alumno cursa y obtiene:
4 A levels: A, A, B, B
= 120+120+100+100
1 AS: B = 50
Cambridge Advanced Certificate = 70
TOTAL: 560 puntos UCAS = 9,2 nota española

Choosing Options
We try and build the timetable
around pupils choices.

manage to give the first

for 2 reserve options as well.
Choosing Options
Your choice should be based on:
• What you enjoy;
• What you are good at and can do well in;
• What you might need for future study and
careers.
Considerations
•
•
•
•
Aptitude and ability for a subject.
Potential for benefitting from the course.
Overall choice of options working together.
Can only do Separate Sciences if you achieve a level 7 or
above in your End of Key Stage Science Exams
• Subjects such as Art and Music should be carefully
discussed with the subject teachers as a strong level of
skill, ability and creativity is needed to achieve high
grades.
The Options Booklet
Please do use it.
It has lots of
information to
help you make
the right choice.
What next?
• Pupils talk to teachers and parents to help decide on which
subjects to choose.
• Use the options booklet and suggested websites to help you
make a decision.
• Complete the Options form indicating 4 first choices and 2
reserve choices.
• Hand it in to Mr Snowden or Mrs Green.

block.
