Choosing your Subjects

Do you have clear favourite subjects that you are good at?

  • Choose the four subjects you love the most.
  • Enjoying your subject is the key to doing well in it.

Do you have one or two strengths and are looking for other subjects to match them?

  • Maths with Sciences
  • Economics with Geography with Maths
  • History with Art History
  • Art with Art History
  • Politics with History
  • English with anything, great with Philosophy
  • Languages with anything
  • Art with Maths

Note there is no “right” combination of subjects. Everything can go with everything!

Are there any rules for choosing subjects?

  • If you choose two or more sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Physics), you must also take Mathematics or Core Maths.
  • If you choose Further Mathematics, you must also take Mathematics.
  • If you chose Mathematics, you cannot take Core Maths.
  • You can take only one Westminster subject
  • If you are a native speaker of a language, we do not recommend you take an A Level inn it, you will quite probably be bored.
  • Students who are native speakers of Russian cannot be considered for the Russian course.

At Harris Westminster Sixth Form, all students study four subjects.

Your subject selection on your application form is your current best guess. It is absolutely fine if you change your mind over the course of Year 11 because you do not finalise your subjects until enrolment day in August (which is GCSE Results Day)

On enrolment day you will have a chance to talk to a member of HWSF staff about your choices and change them as much as you like, providing you have the GCSE grades to support you succeeding in them.

Please note that the subjects below are taught at Westminster School and you will need to go through an additional exam/interview process to be considered for those courses. This does not affect your offer at Harris Westminster Sixth Form. If you are not offered a place on a Westminster School course then you will be asked to change your option to a subject taught at Harris Westminster.

Drama and Theatre Studies German (Ancient) Greek Latin Music Russian

You will not be considered for a place on the Russian course if you are a native speaker.
