- From £299 a month

Four teaching blocks
Weekend A-Level teaching is close to unavailable in London. That is not because the demand is absent. It is because it is awkward to staff. We staff it.
The Four Weekend Blocks
Every subject runs in one of these blocks for three hours a week across a thirty-week teaching year.
| Block | Day and time |
|---|---|
| Block 1 | Saturday 10:00 – 13:00 |
| Block 2 | Saturday 16:00 – 19:00 |
| Block 3 | Sunday 10:00 – 13:00 |
| Block 4 | Sunday 16:00 – 19:00 |
Four blocks means most subject combinations fit without a clash, including the common science and mathematics pairings. Your specific blocks are confirmed in writing before you pay anything.
Who This Is Actually for
Students who left school with a grade that did not carry them where they wanted to go, and who are now working. Students on a gap year who want the year to do something. Adults returning to a subject years later, often to change career. Students enrolled somewhere else on weekdays who need one subject their school does not offer.
What these have in common is that a full-time course is not available to them, and a distance course has not worked. Three hours in a room with a subject specialist, every week, with written work marked in between, is a different thing from a video library.
Weekend Fees
No deposit, no registration fee, and the price published when you enrol is the price for the whole course.
| Subjects | Monthly ×10 | Termly ×3 | Paid in full |
|---|---|---|---|
| One subject | £299 | £950 | £2,690 |
| Two subjects | £569 | £1,800 | £5,100 |
| Three subjects | £819 | £2,600 | £7,350 |
| Four subjects | £1,069 | £3,400 | £9,600 |
| One science with a new practical endorsement | £365 | £1,160 | £3,280 |
| Two sciences | £695 | £2,200 | £6,250 |
| Three sciences | £1,005 | £3,180 | £9,000 |
| Computer Science with the NEA delivered | £340 | £1,080 | £3,060 |
If you already hold a practical endorsement Pass from a previous attempt, you pay the £299 paper rate, not the £365 science rate. See does my endorsement carry forward.

Exam entry, which is £375 a subject through our centre, £395 for Mathematics and Further Mathematics, and £995 for a science entry including the practical endorsement.
Optional extras: one-to-one tuition at £75 an hour, the Easter revision intensive at £595 a subject, additional mocks at £95, and textbooks at cost.

Questions
Questions About Weekend Study
Yes. Blocks 1 and 2 both fall on Saturday, and blocks 3 and 4 on Sunday, with a break between them. Two subjects in one day is a long day but a common choice for students travelling in.
You are welcome to attend the equivalent block on the other day where the same subject runs and there is space. Where it does not, the material and the marked work are still provided, but three hours of teaching cannot be reproduced by notes and we will say so honestly.
Broadly, at least as much again as the contact time, three hours of teaching supported by three or more hours of your own work per subject per week. Students who treat the Saturday block as the whole of their A-Level do not usually get the grade they came for.
The teaching year is thirty weeks and follows a published term structure with breaks. The Easter break is when the optional revision intensive runs, which is charged separately at £595 a subject.
Where the same subject runs in an evening block with space, yes, and there is no charge for the change. Fees are identical across the two timetables.
Yes. There is one teaching team and one standard. We do not run a reduced version of a subject at the weekend.

Why Study This Course Here
Included with the course, rather than charged for later.
Full UCAS Support As Standard
We are a UCAS registered centre, so your application, predicted grades and reference come from us rather than from a school you left. Personal statement work, choices and Clearing are included with every course, not sold as an extra.
An Accredited Cambridge International School
Accreditation is a standard applied to teaching, assessment and centre administration, and it is assessed rather than self-declared. It is the reason we can run examinations properly for our own students and for private candidates.
A Science Laboratory on Site
The twelve required practical activities for Biology, Chemistry and Physics run here, in our own laboratory, supervised and assessed for the practical endorsement. Many providers cannot offer this at all, which is why science candidates are so often turned away.
NEA and Coursework Supervised Properly
Non-exam assessment has to be supervised and authenticated by the centre entering you. We do that work, including the Computer Science programming project, rather than leaving you to find somewhere that will.
Teachers from Russell Group Universities
Every teacher here is a graduate of a Russell Group university and teaches their own subject. You are taught by a specialist who knows the specification and the examiners’ reports, not by a generalist covering four subjects.
Careers Advisers, Not Just Teachers
Course choices constrain degree choices, and degree choices constrain careers. Our advisers work backwards from where you want to end up, including the cases where the honest answer is that a different route gets you there faster.
Where a Weekend A-Level Leads
The same qualification as a weekday course, taken by people who cannot be here on weekdays.
University in the Normal Cycle
Your predicted grades and reference come from us, submitted through UCAS on the standard timetable. Nobody reading the application can tell which day of the week you were taught on.
Work Alongside Study
One three-hour block per subject leaves the working week intact, which is the point. Most students here are in a job, an apprenticeship or another provider.
A Second Attempt That Does Not Cost a Year
Resitting at weekends means you are not out of the labour market while you do it.
