All registered applicants will be asked to attend an interview day in person at the school, this usually takes place in November.
You will have interviews in each of the subjects nominated for your Sixth Form study, plus a general interview with a senior member of staff, there is no written assessment. We will send more details about the assessment day closer to the time. Interviews offer a chance to meet our staff and ask any specific questions you have about your subject choices.
Following the interview day, successful candidates will be notified by the end of November and we would require your decision of an acceptance by early December. Offers will be conditional of candidates fulfilling their required GCSE exam grades in August.
We invite offer holders to an informal event or to have a school tour in early December. This is an opportunity to hear from staff and sixth formers and ask any final questions you may have before the acceptance deadline.
Once you have received your GCSE results in August, these should be sent to our Admissions Office who will confirm your place and send you some further details before you start in early September.
At the end of the summer and prior to the start of the first term in September, we’ll hold induction events to help new sixth formers settle in, meet their fellow students and find their way around the school.
