FAQs

What are the minimum entry requirements for Sixth Form?

Students will need to have at least five GCSEs at Grade 4 or above including English Language and Mathematics at Level 4. To enable students to select the most appropriate subjects at A-Level we use a system based on their APS (average point score) from their GCSE results. Add together your 8 highest GCSE's and then divide by 8 to give your APS. We advise students to choose the subjects which best fit their APS. Please see subject information for subject APS.

How many subjects do I apply for at A-Level?

The minimum requirement is for you to apply for 3 subjects at A-Level.

Can I apply to study 4 subjects at A-Level?

The requirement for you to able to apply to study 4 A-Level subjects is that your APS will be over 7.25. This will be agreed with the Head of Sixth Form in September.

Can I also study an EPQ with my A-Levels?

Yes - this can be added to your application in September when you have made final decisions on your subject choices.

Can I take Further Maths as an additional A-Level?

Students that have applied for Maths A-Level are able to apply for Further Maths.

Why is my subject no longer available to study?

Courses will only run if there is a sufficient demand for them. If a course attracts low numbers of applicants it may not run and we will contact you if this is the case.

I can't see any "Option Blocks" to chose my subjects from?

We only block subjects once our application deadline has passed. This enables us to accommodate as many subject choice combinations as possible.
