How to Apply

Entry Requirements

All students must attain five 9-4 grades at GCSE (or BTEC equivalents) with preferably a grade 5 in either English Language or Mathematics. Individual subjects will require a specific grade in a particular subject at GCSE (see curriculum booklet).

All students will be expected to choose 3 A–levels or vocational subjects and will sit mock exams in the summer term of Year 12 and progress onto the second year of the qualifications in Year 13. In addition, students will choose to study an enrichment course which they will follow in Year 12, this can include sports leadership, debating club, EPQ or lesson support.  

All students will be interviewed by a member of the Sixth Form team during the application process. This enables them to make an informed choice about the best subjects to suit their individual needs. Parents are welcome to discuss these choices with the Sixth Form team following the interview.
