Our Admissions Team will organise a meeting for you to discuss the many possibilities that are available to you in the next step of your education.

Offers and Appeals

Offers will be made on the basis of predicted performance at GCSE, with the requirement that the grades required under the Sixth Form Admissions arrangements are achieved in the final examinations prior to entry to the Sixth Form and the pupil’s 3 chosen subjects being accommodated on the timetable, in feasible group sizes.

All offers made during Year 11 are conditional on pupils meeting the grade criteria specified and will only become firm offers upon confirmation of actual GCSE results.

Where learners have achieved better result than the predicted grades their entrance to sixth form will be considered based on the grades achieved and ranked accordingly for any places that become available as a result of other learners failing to meet the required entry levels.

Parents have a statutory right of appeal, should an application for a place be refused, by writing to Hazel.Groves@theeducationpeople.org.

Late applications will be considered if places in appropriate subjects are still available after all other applicants have been considered.
