Entry Requirements

The standard entry requirement for students entering Sixth Form is 6 GCSEs at grade 5 or above with a grade 7 or above in the subjects they wish to pursue at A Level. Students studying subjects such as Psychology and Business Studies that have not been studied previously, should show proficiency in similar subjects. Entry is at the discretion of the Headmaster. Most importantly, you require an interest in the world around you and an enthusiasm to learn more. There is no minimum requirement at GCSE, although a grade 5 or above in Geography, English and Maths is desirable. Geography requires a wide spectrum of skills including: researching and consolidating information from a variety of sources; using knowledge and understanding to write a coherent argument based on evidence; analysing data and text to find trends and anomalies, as well as being able to manipulate simple statistical formulae and apply practical fieldwork skills.
