Entry Criteria 2025
To be accepted into the Sixth Form all students must be able to demonstrate a good record of attendance and a positive attitude to learning. Students will usually study three A Level subjects. However, if students have an excellent GCSE profile we would consider students taking four A levels. All A Levels are full time two year courses.
A Level Study:
To join the Sixth Form there is an entry criteria of five standard passes at GCSE (at least a Grade 4). This must include at least a Grade 4 in English Language and Maths at GCSE. Students will need to gain at least a Grade 4 in the subjects they would like to study at A Level. For the following subjects there are additional subject requirements.
