For each A Level subject the expectation is that boys should be doing 5 hours work per week.

For AS, they should be doing 3 hours per week. For those doing an EPQ, the requirement is a minimum of 90 hours of independent study over the whole course.

Overall, then, the workload is around 18 hours per week of independent study and learning.
