Sixth Form Admissions Criteria

Students will need to attain a grade 4 in English Language and mathematics and meet entry criteria for each subject area in A-level, BTEC and T-level.

Application Procedure

For further details of the application process, and application timetable, please contact the school. A Sixth Form Options’ Evening is held each year in the late autumn or early spring term.

Application forms for external candidates can be accessed using the link at the top of this page.

Where a Sixth Form applicant has been refused a place at the school, parents and carers will be advised of their right of appeal against the decision of the Governing Body to an Independent Appeals Panel.

The right of appeal will apply equally to students currently attending the school and seeking entry to the sixth form and to external applicants. A waiting list for the sixth form will be maintained, in line with the school’s over-subscription criteria, until the end of September. Students are not admitted to sixth form courses after that date.

School Transport

For students who are 16, 17 or 18 years of age before 1 September in any academic year the council operates a travel scheme (The 16+ Scheme). Further details of the scheme are available from the Passenger Transport Section at Buckinghamshire County Council.
