2025 Entry

Every year we take approximately sixty pupils into the Sixth Form and the Admissions process commences when your child is in Year 11.

A guide to the entry requirements, assessment days, application process and Scholarship criteria is available to download in our Sixth Form booklet here. 

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 across all disciplines.

The closing date is Monday 16 September 2024.
