FAQs
What are the admissions requirements for Sixth Form?
A grade at this level indicates that the student will be able to cope with the demands of an A Level in that subject.
When is the closing date for Sixth Form applications?
Our Sixth Form Information Evening takes place in October and we recommend Sixth Form applicants attend this event as it is great opportunity to start the conversation about academic courses.
Most candidates join us for a taster in the Autumn Term and we recommend candidates complete the admissions process by the end of February. This ensures maximum flexibility for subject choices and courses. Applications made after this date may be subject to option blocks.
