The normal expectation for entry to our Sixth Form is six Grades 9 - 5 or equivalent at GCSE, but we do consider all applications on an individual basis, so if you have any concerns about meeting these grades please come and speak to Mrs C L Wheeler or Mr Smith, our Assistant Principal (Academic). A sound knowledge of GCSE Biology is essential. A solid foundation in GCSE Chemistry is an advantage and an interest in scientific current affairs will also help. You must be motivated and willing to work hard.
