Key Stage 5

Key Stage 5

Key Stage 5 is an unofficial label used to describe the two years of post-compulsory education for students aged 16-18, or at sixth form, in the United Kingdom, to align with previous Key Stages as labelled for the National Curriculum.

Halfway through Key Stage 5, students sit the GCE Advanced Subsidiary Levels examination and at the end of Key Stage 5, the A2 Level examinations. Sitting both AS and A2 level form the GCE Advanced Level qualification.
