Entry Requirements

Any pupil (internal or external) wishing to enter the Sixth Form at Shiplake is expected to have a good history of engagement with their learning, an excellent disciplinary record together with evidence of commitment to wider school life (such as music, drama, sport and volunteering). An offer of a place into Year 12 is conditional upon the candidate achieving a minimum of five good passes at GCSE (including English and mathematics) and a strong performance at GCSE in those subjects they wish to pursue at A Level. For those people with at least 5 GCSEs at grade 5 or above, the course provides an opportunity for practical, hands-on learning. We would suggest that a grade 5 or higher in science (particularly biology) would be extremely beneficial in maximising the outcome at the end of this course.
