About Critical Thinking
Critical Thinking is entirely skills-based, but the normal expectation of students wishing to take the AS is that they will have obtained at least grade A*/A in every GCSE subject that they have taken. It is not regarded as one of the four AS levels usually studied but as an additional fifth AS.
Students are expected to attend three lessons of Critical Thinking every week, which are organised to fit the individual requirements of the student in conjunction with their other subjects.
