Five GCSES at grades 9-5, which must include grade 9-5 in GCSE English Language and Mathematics. Students taking trilogy GCSE science - grade 7/7 or above in science (preferred), grade 6/6 in science (required). Students taking separate sciences at GCSE - grade 7 or above in Chemistry and at least one other science (preferred), grade 6 or above in Chemistry and at least one other science (required). All students - grade 6 or above in GCSE Maths.
