Admissions at age 16

Admission is based on school report (which will include predicted GCSE performance) and interview. The school invites potential candidates to a 6th Form Entrants’ Morning held on a Saturday morning in November. This provides the opportunity for informal two-way discussion between prospective candidates and A-Level Heads of Departments and an interview with a senior member of staff. In addition, those who wish to apply for a scholarship or Assisted Place are required to sit a standardised General Reasoning test lasting just under an hour. This is deliberately not knowledge-based and cannot be prepared for.

Offers are made at the end of November. There is some flexibility about deadlines for acceptance of these.

Offers are made conditional on achieving six passes at A* to C grade at GCSE, preferably with at least B grades in the subjects to be studied at AS-Level

See Financial Help page for information on Scholarships and Bursaries. All Scholarship and Bursary applicants must be registered to sit the entrance exam.
