Entry Requirements

For entry into the Sixth Form we require a positive end of school testimonial and normally the securing of a minimum six GCSEs, including Maths and English, at grades 9-5 (or grade equivalent). Students should achieve a grade 6 or above in those subjects they wish to take at A-Level. For subjects with no associated GCSE, the grades achieved in other subjects will be taken into consideration. Grade 7 or above. Mathematics is a popular Sixth Form subject, both nationally and at Bloxham. However, it is not advisable for the student who finds the subject difficult to embark on the A-Level course. Although determination and hard work can play a large part in achieving success, a measure of mathematical ability is essential. As a rule, a student should have achieved a grade 7 or ideally higher at GCSE. We also take part in the Senior Maths Challenge and also some have been given the opportunity to some students to take part in the Maths Feast Competition.
