Overseas students without GCSE predicted or actual grades will not be able to apply via the main portal. For academic qualification they will need a Statement of Comparability and students may also be asked to complete some entry tests onsite at FPSS before completing the enrolment process. The Statement of Comparability compares overseas qualifications to the UK education system, comparing them to UK qualifications and framework levels. Applications will need to be completed before the closing date of 8am 8th January 2025.

If you have an EHCP, your application to the Sixth Form will not be able to proceed until a consultation from the local authority has been received and responded to by the Inclusion team at Furze Platt Senior School. If the school feel that they are able to meet your special educational needs, then the application will then proceed in line with the usual process.

Conditional offers are based on predicted grades which we know may change over Year 11 and so we may be able to amend offer subjects prior to Taster Days. Final places in the Sixth Form will only be offered based on actual grades on GCSE results day. If an applicant’s GCSE grades mean that they do not meet the entry requirements for a subject they have chosen we will try to offer them an alternative. However, it may mean that we are unable to accept them into the Sixth Form. Students may change their subject choices if they meet each subject minimum requirement and if timetabling allows, If a course is oversubscribed there may be waitlists.
