Sixth form applications for external candidates for September 2022
Applications for September 2022 will open on Thursday 11th November 2021. There is no entrance exam to join us in the Sixth Form and successful applicants are selected based on subject choice. An updated ‘Guide to Courses’ and ‘Subject Grid’ are available via the link to the right. Please note that, on occasion, some courses do not run each year, and changes may be made to the subject grid to optimise student choice.
Due to Covid restrictions we intend to run an adapted open afternoon for external candidates on Thursday 11th November. We hope that we will be able to invite potential new students, with a maximum of one adult to accompany them, to visit the school, take a tour of the buildings, meet with some subject staff and hear a talk about admissions from the Head of Sixth Form. We have to be mindful of numbers so to register an interest in attending, and crucially to be on the mailing list should the event need to be cancelled or rearranged, please complete this form by Friday 5th November.
Open Afternoon registration form
The online application form will be available here from 11th November.
The Admission Arrangements for the Sixth Form are contained within the School’s Admissions Arrangements.
- All applicants to Year 12 must have a minimum of five Grade 6s at GCSE, with a minimum of Grade 5 in English Language and Maths if they are not part of the five.
- In addition, individual subjects will have their own specific requirements, which must also be met. Please see the Guide to courses for full details.
In a typical year there will be approximately 500 applications for the additional places, so please be aware that meeting the entry requirements does not guarantee a place.
