Entry Requirements

Current South Hampstead pupils transferring to the Sixth Form must achieve a minimum of six GCSE grades at grade 7 or equivalent, and at least a grade 5 in both Mathematics and English Language. Individual requirements are set for different subjects, with some requiring at least a grade 8 or equivalent. For external candidates, places are offered based on the result of the entrance examinations, interviews and projected GCSE grades. Offers are conditional on achieving the required standard, with specific conditions outlined in individual offer letters. The expected standard is high – offers are usually made on the condition of\ candidates achieving at least seven GCSEs at grade 8 or equivalent, including in your chosen subjects. Studying a modern language, like any subject, can be challenging and demanding, so you will need to be prepared to be self-motivated and to have independence of mind and a creative imagination. You will gain more from lessons if you are prepared to develop your ideas and to participate actively in discussion. You should also enjoy reading, as you will be expected to read beyond the set texts. We expect at least a grade 7 or equivalent at GCSE in the language to be studied.
