Hitchin Sixth Form Consortium - 2026 Entry Requirements

Standard entry requirement for the Hitchin Sixth Form Consortium is five Grade 9-4 GCSEs or equivalent including English and Maths at Grade 4 or above and a minimum overall GCSE Average Points Score (APS) of a 4. Most courses will have additional entry requirements and these are detailed below.

The APS numbers referenced in the table below are the minimum requirement for entry to the course.  Using national averages as a guideline, students achieving only the stated APS at GCSE can expect to achieve at least a low D grade at A-level in those subject areas.  For Level 3 BTEC/Technical/AAQ courses the expected minimum outcome with the APS shown would be a Merit grade.
