Key Dates for 16+ Entry 2027
16+ Entry Assessment
The minimum standard for entry to the Sixth Form is six GCSE subjects at grade 7 although, with the competition for places, the standard is likely to be considerably higher. There are also specific GCSE requirements to study specific A level courses which can be found here:听.
All external candidates for the Sixth Form take an entrance examination, sitting a critical writing paper and a computer adaptive verbal and non-verbal reasoning assessment.听 After the entrance examination, candidates for whom a place is being considered will be invited back for an interview.
Students already at 糖心视频 proceed to the Sixth Form without the need for further assessment, but are required to meet the same minimum entry requirement as external students.
Places are allocated shortly after the examination process. Once candidates have accepted an offer from us, they will be invited to an Options Evening where they can meet Heads of Department for advice on selecting subjects to study at A level.
Scholarships and Bursaries
All candidates who sit the entrance examinations are automatically considered for an Academic Scholarship. There are further assessments for those children who pass the academic threshold and who wish to be considered for a Music, Sport, Art, Chess and Drama Scholarship.
As well as, Academic, Sport, Music, Art, Chess and Drama Scholarships at 16+ entry, we offer means-tested financial bursaries for families who may not be able to afford the fees. Visit the Scholarship and Bursaries section for more information.
