Entry Requirements

The vast majority of Upper Fifth (Year 11) pupils at Exeter School continue into the sixth form but there has also been a long tradition of a significant number of new entrants from other schools. To qualify for entry into the Lower Sixth, applicants and current Upper Fifth pupils need to achieve a minimum of three grade 7 and three grade 6 GCSEs as well as passing GCSE English and mathematics and have a positive reference/school record (that includes conduct, attendance and punctuality). Minimum GCSE physics grade 6 or GCSE double award science grade 6,6 as well as minimum GCSE mathematics grade 6. However, a grade 7, 8 or above is very strongly recommended. A level mathematics is not required but it is very beneficial.
