FAQs

I don't attend a Blackburn school, can I still apply?

Certainly. We do not have a specific catchment area. No matter where you live, you can apply.

Is there a Sixth Form uniform?

Whilst there is no uniform to purchase, we do expect students to attend in smart business wear. All students are expected to wear a blazor.

How Many A levels will I study?

Most students will study three A level subjects for the two years of the Sixth Form. We do give students the opportunity to ‘sample’ a fourth A level choice in their first half term. If Mathematics and Further Mathematics are two of your choices, it is advisable (though not obligatory) to take four subjects for the full two years. Occasionally other students wish to take four subjects; we will discuss this with the individuals concerned.

What are the minimum entry requirements?

The basic requirement for entry to our Sixth Form is 5 GCSEs at grade 5 or above, with ‘passes’ i.e. at least Grade 4 in Maths and English and, preferably, grade 6 or above in the chosen subjects.

Is there a careers service?

Yes. We have a dedicated careers team and careers area in Singleton House, stocked with information on universities and courses, apprenticeships, gap years and careers. The majority of our pupils, always over 90%, go to university and this is the principal purpose of our Sixth Form.
