Admission in the Sixth Form (16+) 

In the November preceding entry we write to the Head Teachers of all registered prospective pupils to ask for both a reference and predicted grades.  Normally pupils must be predicted at least three A grades and three B grades at I/GCSE to be considered for a place.   We consider the Head Teacher's report and then either offer a firm place for the following September, subject only to the minimum GCSE requirement, or invite the prospective pupil for interview and further discussion of possible A Level subjects.

For those prospective pupils who do not take GCSE/IGCSE papers, we test in two of their intended A Level subjects. Arrangements can be made for overseas pupils to take these examinations at their current school. Each pupil will also be interviewed either during a visit to the School or via Skype.  A written test in English Language is required for all prospective pupils who do not have English as their first language.
