A Level

The criteria for entry to Pearson Online Academy UK Global Sixth Form will be:

• GCSEs at grade 5 and above in the subject(s) that you want to study (domestic equivalents also accepted).
• The entry criteria apply equally to internal and external applications.

English is the language of instruction, engagement and assessment at Pearson Online Academy UK Global. We set this English level at B2 on the CEFR framework to reflect the level of proficiency required to engage effectively with our academic programme.

Students who are native speakers of English or who have been educated in a primarily English-speaking country for an extended period may be exempt from providing evidence of English language ability. We'd like students to demonstrate that their language level meets our recommended requirements for English proficiency on entry to the school in one of the following two ways:

1. Through submitting evidence of attainment on one of our approved English language tests when completing the application form. Please see the scores required below:

• PTE Academic: Overall score 58
• IELTS: Band 5.5
• TOEFL (IBT) 86

We recommend applicants prepare before taking an English language test. Exam preparation resources for the PTE Academic are available here.

2. If you have not been able to sit an English language test prior to making an application you may request to sit our in-house English test. 

Pearson Online Academy UK Global partners with PTE Versant to provide a secure 50-minute English language test. Information for test-takers and practice resources can be found here. 

We can recommend English support lessons to help candidates reach the required level prior to admission, and Pearson Academy Online UK Global offers support classes in English as an Additional Language (EAL) for an additional fee for those who need it, in combination with their other studies.

If you want advice, or just to talk through your options, contact our friendly admissions team.
