COURSE REFORM
As part of the DfE consultation, A Level subjects are being reformed in two phases which alter the
way in which they will be assessed. As of September 2015 the subjects of Biology, Chemistry, Physics,
History, Art, English, Psychology and Business will follow the model of a linear two year course (A Level)
where all examinations will occur at the end of two years, as opposed to the current system where
students are entered onto the AS component, are examined at the end of Year 12 and then complete
the A2 component in Year 13.
This will not change the current entry pathway or the entry requirements for our Sixth Form. All
students will be entered onto four subjects, and progress will be tracked closely throughout the duration
of the two years, whether they are studying one of the older AS/A2 courses or whether it is one of the
new A Level subjects mentioned above. Our students will continue to enjoy the depth of study that A
Level offers with the same choice of courses.
Additionally, entry requirements will remain unaffected. If you have any queries, please do not hesitate
to contact one of the Sixth Form staff.

EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Music
The music department offers a wide range of
curricular enrichment activities. The department
has many groups including a school choir and an
orchestra that perform regularly at whole school
events. Along with performers from other years,
sixth form students play an active part in the school’s
annual Carol Concert in December which is held at
St. Andrew’s Church. Each year the A Level Music
students take part in the city-wide Young Composer
of the Year competition which gives students the
chance to work with professional musicians to

you for challenges and help you to develop key
leadership skills. This year we are also running the
Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme at Bronze, Silver
and Gold level. If you have completed an award
previously, come along and try the next level, or
come in as a direct entry to Gold Level. Students
who passed their Gold Award were at St James’
Palace in September to receive their medals from
the Duke himself!
Young Enterprise
Young Enterprise gives students from Devonport
High School for Girls the chance to work on running
a business venture. All the processes that the
students need to go through mirror the rigors of the
real business world from completing an application
form and preparing their presentation for the
selection process to selling their goods and services
to the public during Christmas and Easter trade
events.
Over the past five years our team have been instrumental in helping to win the Plymouth Overall
Company Award three times, including representation at regional finals. The programme requires
students to commit to meeting at least once a week and giving time and effort additionally to ensure
the project achieves set goals. Young Enterprise is an excellent addition to any UCAS or job application
and is demonstrative of the characteristics that are desirable post 19.

Croatia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ghana, Irish Republic, Nepal, Poland, Romania, South Africa and
Zimbabwe. The European-funded projects under the Comenius programme and the global partnerships under
the Connecting Classrooms programme have offered many students from Year 9 to Year 12 the opportunity to
work on relevant cross-curricular projects with the added incentive of a visit to one of the foreign countries.
Devonport High School for Girls plays a leading role in organising a competition for Year 12 and 13 language
students from the South West to take part in a visit to the European Parliament in Strasbourg. The students
attend a Euroscola Day at the Parliament building and take the place of the MEPs to discuss a variety of
interesting European issues, as well as meeting many of the other 500 young people from EU member states.
Also included is a survey of opinions on Europe carried out with passers-by in the streets of Strasbourg and
a tour of the city, including many of the important EU buildings. As the lead school in the Peninsula Group
Confucius Classroom, Devonport High School for Girls along with its partner schools, promotes the teaching and
learning of the Mandarin Chinese language and culture. Students can take advantage of the offers to travel to

This year some students studying for the AQA Baccalaureate have been involved in the Five Nations Network
project where they link with students from Scotland, Ireland and Wales, to discuss how Citizenship is delivered
in each country's education system. As part of this, a group recently enjoyed a visit to the Houses of Parliament
in London and will shortly be discussing their experience with their Welsh peers.
Student Executive
The role of the students in the life of the school is vital in supporting an ethos of strong community and innovation
which represents the whole student body. There are numerous opportunities for students to contribute to the
well being and development of the school and the wider community at all stages of their career and which
endeavour to support the leadership potential of all.
Students will be encouraged to contribute in lots of ways and through a variety of democratic structures. All
student leadership opportunities will be advertised and students are able to apply or volunteer for positions
of responsibility at various stages in the academic year. Sixth Form students will also have the opportunity to
volunteer to be Pastoral and Academic Mentors. The role of an academic mentor is to provide specific subject
related support and guidance in their chosen area to students across KS3 and 4. Pastoral mentors support
students across the school on a range of pastoral issues, for example providing guidance in the resolution
of friendship disputes, managing work load issues or just being a supportive ‘ear’. The Student Executive
represents an important platform for Student Voice and helps facilitate the essential dialogue between teacher
and student.

For students in year 12, the AS Level is compulsory unless they choose to study Further Mathematics
or Government and Politics in Block E. In year 13, the A2 is optional, but we find many students wish
to continue.
Students build upon a base of knowledge acquired through studying a broad range of subjects at GCSE.
They will discuss the nature of knowledge, truth and belief; analyse data; information, ideas, opinions
and argument; examine questions, form values, make judgments and draw conclusions.
HIGHER EDUCATION AND CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
General Studies is not commonly accepted by admission tutors at university but is valuable in terms
of ensuring students keep a breadth of study. In addition, because of the nature of the delivery of the

Economics and will be a useful preparation for university level study of any of these subjects. It is
relevant to a number of careers including Journalism, Politics, Law and International Relations. An A
Level in this subject indicates to a future employer or university that the student has the intellectual
ability to understand the broader forces that shape society and is able to actively engage with them.

HISTORY
HEAD OF DEPARTMENT
Mr N Cliff BA (Hons), PGCE, CCRS
A LEVEL COURSE OUTLINE
The course is designed to offer students the opportunity to
study at least 200 years of History and to become independent
learners suitable for either a degree or the workplace. British
History is an important element of the course and focus on
democratic developments in the period c1780 – 1885, which
saw Britain transformed as a nation in response to dramatic
changes and political protest. This provides a contrast with
the depth study which explores the failure of democracy and
the rise of Nazism. The Personal Study provides students
with a chance to investigate a period of 100 years of their
choice.
HIGHER EDUCATION AND
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
History is a well-respected academic subject which
provides a good foundation for many careers. Archaeology,
Conservation and History Teaching are amongst those
directly related to the subject but there are many other
careers where historians excel; Architecture, Banking,
Economics, Journalism, Law, Marketing and Publishing,
all of which draw on historical skills such as analysis and
the ability to form judgements based on scrutiny of the
evidence.
