Sixth Form

Admissions Policy

Admission is open to all who:

• attain a successful interview;
• have a proven commitment to study and hard work;
• have an acceptable record of behaviour;
• attain the required GCSE grade profile and points score;
• have a suitable Record of Achievement;
• submit their completed application by the deadline – MONDAY 8TH FEBRUARY 2010

In the event of any subject being oversubscribed, the following principles will be applied:

• Students must ensure their predicted grade, as authorised by a member of staff, will meet the entry requirements of a particular course;
• Any application forms received after the closing date will be considered only if there is space available on the course;
• All applications received prior to the closing date will be given equal consideration for each subject, regardless of the student’s home school or where the course will be delivered. Each student will have equality of access to all courses, assuming they meet the entry requirements for that course;
• In allocating places to a course that may be oversubscribed, students will be spoken to individually, to ensure that the process is open and transparent. For example, consideration will be given to a student’s intended career or progression route;

Following the publication of examination results in August, students may wish to revise their subject choices. Students who applied for a course at the time of original application and have been given a conditional place will have preference. New applicants will be considered using the guidelines above.
