Sixth Form
Our admissions policy was written in order to be compliant with the current DfE School Admissions Code.
As well as our own Year 11 students (referred to as internals), the school admits students who are studying for GCSEs at other schools (referred to as external applicants). The Published Admissions Number for external applicants is 50. If spaces remain on some courses, this number can be exceeded.
Internal and External students must meet the same academic admissions criteria in order to be admitted to the Sixth Form.
