Entry to the Sixth Form

It is important to emphasise that progression to the sixth form should not be regarded as automatic. Students should:

• have the necessary GCSE background
• have a real interest in their studies
• be involved in, and enjoy, the support of the school community
• have a record of meeting the specialist subjects’ requirements and coursework deadlines
• be evidently self-disciplined (e.g. in attendance, punctuality, and uniform).

There are also the two academic requirements: students must achieve at least A grades in the subjects they wish to study at AS-level; and students must achieve at least 6 grade As overall in the GCSE examinations.

It is the school’s philosophy to help and support all our students so that they can meet the entry requirements and progress into the sixth form.
