Entry requirements

Academic ability is assessed at age 16 by means of GCSE results, an interview and references from the applicant’s secondary schools. The main entry to the Sixth Form is at age 16, following on from GCSE studies. Entry may be available at other times but is subject to places being available and a student meeting the relevant entry criteria for their chosen subjects. Entry Criteria: A minimum of six GCSE passes (grade 6 or above). A minimum of grade 7 at GCSE in subjects that a student wishes to study at A level. A grade 6 may be considered if the applicant has shown a particular commitment and aptitude to succeed in the subject area. In the case of subjects which have not been taken at GCSE, other relevant subjects will be taken into account.

How you'll be assessed
