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. A BTEC is an alternative to A Levels that gets you equivalent qualifications while you study in a more practical, hands-on way. Nearly 1 in 4 university students have studied BTECs. Employers appreciate the practical approach. Course entry requirements ideally include a GCSE Grade 5 or above in English, Maths and Business (if studied).
