Admission to Year 12

Admission is based on the following criteria:

• Students achieving a minimum of at least six GCSEs (9 – 5) of which at least four are at a grade 6 (or equivalent).
• In addition, students must meet subject entry requirements, which in most cases require a minimum of Grade 6 in the subject to be studied, or related subjects.
• Students must also achieve a minimum of a grade 5 in English Language and Mathematics.
• Typically, we would expect students following essay-based subjects to gain at least a grade 6 in English Language and students following scientific courses to gain at least a grade 7 in Mathematics.
• The school shall determine which grades at 6 are required when A level subjects requested have not been taken at GCSE Level.
• Priority will be given to existing pupils transferring from Year 11 who meet the entrance criteria.
