Every year we take approximately sixty pupils into the Sixth Form and the Admissions process commences when your child is in Year 11.
We held our assessment days in October and November 2024 and initial offers were made 1 December 2024. However, we have now opened a second round of recruitment as girls Boarding places are still available, as well as a limited number of boys and girls day places. At this stage we are unable to offer Scholarship or Bursary awards.
The range of courses on offer in the Sixth Form can be viewed and downloaded in our Courses Guide here.
Applicants are required to achieve a minimum of Grade 6 in six subjects at GCSE or iGCSE, however, candidates intending to study A Level Sciences or Languages are required to achieve a minimum of Grade 7, with Grade 8 required for Maths. For candidates not following either a curriculum in GCSE or iGCSE, they must meet the equivalent standards.
For applicants where English is not their first language before applying, we require a recent UKiset test result. We will only proceed with an application where the Common European Framework Reference (CEFR) Score is C1+ with a minimum score of 100 in all disciplines. For further information about UKiset, please visit their website UKiset.
To be considered, please email to admissions@stowe.co.uk a copy of the applicants last two most recent school reports, which outline their predicted end of year grades. We would also like to know about their extra curricular interests and preferred Sixth Form subject choices. Once we have this information, we will contact you about the next steps, which involves each applicant completing online CAT4 tests, and a written paper(s) as well as a pastoral interview with a Houseparent.
Please feel welcome to contact the Admissions Office if you would like to discuss the admissions process.
