Entry Requirements

Sixth Form candidates are encouraged to apply in the Autumn Term of the year preceding entry and are generally required to have a minimum of two 7 and three 6 grades at GCSE, and a minimum of grade 5 in Mathematics and English, with some subject-specific requirements, as listed in our Sixth Form Curriculum Guide. In addition to the ‘traditional’ A Level offer, in September 2023, the School introduced BTEC in Sport. This pathway was open to elite performers who are linked with our Saracens Partnership. Grade 6 in GCSE Music plus Grade 5 performance standard (you do not have to have taken the exam) in at least one instrument. ABRSM Grade 5 Theory is a significant advantage. The Director of Academic Music will consider applications from those who have the relevant musical experience, but have not studied GCSE Music, on an individual basis.
