Every year we take approximately sixty new pupils into the Sixth Form.
Although our assessment days were held last year, we have now opened a second round of recruitment. Please note we are unable to offer Scholarship and Bursary awards at this stage.
Please complete our Enrolment Form and send a copy of your child’s most recent school report to admissions@stowe.co.uk. Once we have received this information we will contact you about the next steps.
Candidates are required to achieve a minimum of Grade 6 in six subjects at GCSE or iGCSE.
To study A Level Sciences or Languages a minimum of Grade 7 is required, with Grade 8 required for Maths. For candidates not following a GCSE or iGCSE curriculum, they must meet the equivalent standards in the curriculum they follow.
If English is not your child’s first language and English is not the primary educational language of their school, before proceeding with an application, we will require a recent UKiset test result. The CEFR level should be a minimum of C1. Further information is available on their website UKiset.
Application forms and our 2027 Entry Booklet outlining the admissions process, will be available from March 2026.
We are hosting an Open Morning on Saturday 25 April, when candidates and parents will be able to take a tour of the campus, meet with a Houseparent and view a House, as well as listen to talks from the Head and our Head of Sixth Form. There will also be an opportunity to speak with subject Heads of Department and stay for lunch.
