All students entering the Sixth Form study the IB or 4 Advanced Level subjects with an enrichment course.
We require:

or

• a minimum average GCSE point score of 45 in their best 8 full GCSEs including English and Mathematics with B grades in the subjects, or related subjects which the student intends to study. (Point score is based on the current point system of: A* = 58, A=52, B=46, C=40, D=34 and E=28.)

C. Entry into Year 13
To continue into Year 13, students will be expected to have achieved at least a level 3 in each IB subject or at least two D grades and two E grades at AS level.

D. Attendance and Punctuality
The Sixth Form is seen as a flagship for the school, leading by example in terms of attitude to learning, attendance and punctuality. The average attendance level in the school is 96.8% therefore the Sixth Form should be striving to achieve this and beyond.
