Applications open towards the end of October and close at 9am on Monday 20 January 2025. We will not accept any applications made after this date. Applications will be made through the Applicaa link supplied on this page. You will set up an initial account and then be asked to verify your email address before continuing with the application. Once you have completed and submitted your application you will receive an email confirmation. Each year we are oversubscribed and expect to be so again.

All applicants are given a Conditional Offer. Places are not guaranteed and all applicants are advised to make at least three applications to other A Level providers and not reject them until after you have successfully enroled at Waldegrave. We are heavily oversubscribed and cannot offer places on GCSE results day to all applicants who apply. More enrolment information from previous years can be found on our Admissions page including distance of last successful enroled applicant. Conditional Offers will be made at the end of the Spring term.

Waldegrave is non-selective however there are national minimum GCSE grades required to study A Levels. On your application you will be asked for your predicted grades. These are used for guidance only as we recognise many applicants improve their grades between mock exams and public exams. Applicants will be accepted onto courses following the results of the GCSEs received in August. You will be asked to choose three subjects that you think you would like to study at A Level. No firm decision needs to be made until Enrolment Day in August and confirmation of your place will depend on availability of courses on the day. A Level Entrance Requirements For more information on the subjects we offer please view Sixth Form Subjects webpage. If you have not sat GCSEs or iGCSEs you will need to provide a Statement of Comparability and bring this to your enrolment interview.

This will take place on the same day as GCSE results for current Waldegrave students and the following day for external applicants. Towards the end of the Summer term 2025 you will receive an Enrolment Pack and the time of your appointment to attend on Enrolment Day. You will be expected to attend your appointment so we strongly advise you attend your enrolment meeting and do not book holidays. We will not enrol virtually but you may send a representative in your place. Your place in Sixth Form is not guaranteed and is only confirmed once your meeting has concluded, as such we recommend you make applications to several Sixth Forms and colleges and do not reject them until after you have successfully enrolled at Waldegrave Sixth Form. Applicants will be given an appointment time to attend according to the Oversubscription Criteria of distance from home to Waldegrave. Please read the Determined Admissions Arrangements document carefully. Information on admissions data for the last three years can be viewed at Admissions Data.
