Further Guidance

Don’t settle for one source like this. Teachers, Heads of Departments and the Headmaster have all had ex-
perience in these issues and are obvious usual sources of information on choices, but before making a final
decision, always speak to the relevant people who will have specialised knowledge of their subject area. If
you are in doubt regarding which subjects to study for a particular course, then consult prospectuses with
the Head of Sixth Form. Useful websites for university and other information include...
