Key Stage 5 (Sixth Form)
Year 12 & 13

All Year 11 students are actively supported and encouraged to apply to pursue further studies as part of the Sixth Form Programme. The benefit of continuing further academic studies will be highlighted and encouraged. Students will be asked to identify their early thoughts about their post school intentions in writing through the Sixth Form application process. Those students who express an interest in pursuing further academic studies will have the opportunity to meet one to one for an ‘early intentions’ consultation with the HoSF (Key Stage 5) and the Placement Coordinator (CAS).

 

Students will receive career information and guidance through the school’s Life Skills Programme. A Post School Options Evening will be held to provide information to all Year 11 students and parents about the post school options available. Each year, the school will provide a list of A Level subjects which will be offered by the school along with Minimum Entry Requirements. It should be noted that depending on numbers and/or staffing commitments, some courses may not be viable.

 

Students will be expected to complete a Key Stage 5 Application Form and state their preferred post compulsory school and course options. Following receipt of an application (including references), each student will have a formal admissions interview with at least two panel members consisting of the school’s Senior Management and Sixth Form Team. Those considered as meeting the criteria (as per Point 3 in the Admissions Policy) for return to full time study in Year 12 will be sent a Conditional Offer based on their predicted GCSE grades, their related course options at that time and any other relevant considerations.

 

NB: These course options will be subject to change in accordance with their actual examination results.
