Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions about the

How do I apply?

You can apply online at anytime between October and May for entry

in September, by simply visiting our student application page. You’ll be

asked to provide your personal details, details of the course you’re cur-

rently studying, the subjects you would like to study with us next year

and to answer a couple of short questions about yourself.

Once you’ve applied be sure to monitor your email inbox as this is the

main method of communication with applicants.

What happens next?

Once you’ve applied online you will receive immediate correspond-

ence to say your application has been received. The admissions

team will then review the suitability of your application and then

send out an invitation in the post for you to attend an interview

to discuss your application. We endeavour to do this within

two weeks of receiving your application, but this can vary on

occasion so please be patient. If you’re concerned that you

haven’t heard from us, please feel free to call the college to

discuss the progress of your application.

What happens at my interview and what do I need to

bring with me?

Don’t panic … interviews are short, friendly, one-

to-one meetings where you get to discuss your

strengths and ambitions with a member of

college staff. At this stage the interview is

more of a consultation, where we can both

make sure your selecting the right courses

to meet your aspirations – it’s also your

opportunity to ask questions too!

Please remember to bring with you a copy of

your latest school report and details of your

predicted grades.

When will I know if I have a place?

In most cases successful applicants will be made an offer at

interview, if not you will hear from us within a week of your

interview. All offers are conditional and subject to you meeting

relevant course entry requirements and the receipt of a refer-

ence from your school.

Later in the year we will invite you to take part in our Appli-

cant Taster Day in late June. At this event you will get a taste

for your chosen subjects and get to know teaching staff and

other new students.

What happens when I get my results?

If you are successful after your interview you will receive a

conditional offer to study at Cadbury College. We will write to

you in the summer to provide you with details of our enrol-

ment dates, which start on GCSE results day and continue

through to early September. In the letter we will give you a

date and time to come and enrol, when you will need to bring

with you evidence of your GCSE results.

Due to the large number of applications we receive it is im-

portant that you try to attend on the specific date and time

given. If for whatever reason this is not possible you can

contact the college to arrange another appointment.

What happens if I don’t get the grades needed?

If you have received a conditional offer to study

with us, then we are eager to find you an appro-

priate course that match your results. Even

if you don’t get the grades you wanted, we

still want you to attend your enrolment

response in the form of a finished piece. Alongside their development work, students

research a range of relevant artists and designers to gain inspiration for their own crea-

tive ideas and themes. Students will also analyse existing designs, extracting techniques

should we be more concerned about the consequences of our actions? We also get to

grips with some of the most pertinent ethical issues raised by euthanasia, business

ethics and the nature of the conscience.

The Developments in Christian Thought unit looks at how the religion began and its

key beliefs such as the Trinity and life after death. It looks at new aspects of Christianity

such as Feminist theology, Liberation theology and the Challenge of Secularism. It also

considers the material in the Bible and asks where it came from and what status it has.

FURTHER MATHEMATICSCourse Overview

A-Level Further Mathematics must be studied alongside A-Level Mathematics. The

syllabus extends the work from the pure, mechanics and statistics areas of the standard

Maths course, while also introducing students to the world of algorithms and networks.

This final addition is closely linked to computing.

Students will also begin to learn about the concept of proof as it applies to mathemat-

ics, which is very different to the approach to proof used in the sciences.

Maisie Truman

Teaching Methods

Mathematics is a subject that requires

practice in order to master the

required skills. Students will study

the mathematical theories through

information provided by their teacher,

their own research, and exercises

designed to lead them through and

develop their knowledge of a particular

topic. Students will work through

exercises; use a range of puzzles; and

produce posters, presentations and

revision guides, to practice their skills.

Course Activities

Students will have the opportunity to

take part in the UK Maths Challenge,

and there are a range of courses and

talks provided by the Further Maths

Support Programme and Birmingham

University, amongst others, that the

students can take part in throughout

the course.


The final grade for A-Level Mathematics is assessed entirely by examination at the end

of two years.

Students will have the opportunity to take an AS in Further Mathematics, but should

they choose to continue into the second year, these marks will not count towards their

final A-Level grade.

Students will also receive regular testing each half term, in order to keep track of their

progress through the course.

CHEMISTRYCourse Overview

Everyone enjoys seeing amazing chemical reactions such as firework displays but to

understand how they work you have to use your brain and imagination. Chemistry is

the study of reactions at molecular level. What you see when you burn magnesium or

put some indicator into an acid are clues about what is going on at the molecular level.

Chemists interpret what we see so that we can model what happens at the atomic and

sub-atomic level.

A Level Chemistry is essential for medicine and many other related degree courses as

graduates are sought after to work in a wide range of jobs. The skills learnt are transfer-

able to other situations as you learn to be organised, think logically and present ideas

clearly.
