Admissions Policy

We consider every application on its merits. However, we want to ensure that any student entering the Sixth Form has a full and balanced programme and is capable of achieving success at AS and A-Level. In general this requires a minimum of four separate GCSE A* - C grades. Subject specific entry requirements are highlighted in the prospectus, and these are in addition to the minimum requirement.

It is also important that students have demonstrated an appropriate attitude to study and possess the capability of working independently and meeting subject requirements. Our induction process, including an interview, will highlight any shortcomings in this regard and students will be given specific targets to meet in order to satisfy us that they are prepared for the challenge of Sixth Form studies.

We welcome students who apply from other institutions. We will invite applicants and their parents to visit the school for a tour and meeting with the Head of Year. A decision will be made based on GCSE results, an interview with the Head of Year and a reference from their previous school.
