Qualifications taken with our school now give points on the UCAS tariff for university entrance. With effect from 2008 entry to Higher Education, students passing Grades 6-8 in Speech and Drama, will be entitled to additional UCAS points. Depending on the level of the pass, students are able to be awarded up to a massive 160 UCAS points. Many Universities ask for 280 UCAS Points for entry to Higher Education.
Nikil Parmar, age 12, has just passed Grade 6 at Distinction level. Nikil has now achieved 40 UCAS points, equivalent to a Grade C AS Level at the age of 12. Nikil’s brother, Rowan, age 14,  has already passed Grades 6 and 7 and is hoping to take Grade 8 in December. Rowan now has 85 UCAS points.

 

Speech and Drama Examinations – UCAS Points Awarded

	Grade 6	Grade 7	Grade 8
Distinction	40	55	65
Merit	35	50	60
Pass	20	35	45

A Levels – UCAS Points Awarded

AS Level		A2 Level
Grade A	60	Grade A	120
Grade B	50	Grade B	100
Grade C	40	Grade C	80
Grade D	30	Grade D	60
Grade E	20	Grade E	40

So for example if a student passes grade 6, 7 and 8 at Distinction level, the student has 160 UCAS Points. This is equivalent of an A2 Level Grade A and an AS Level Grade C.
