Courses for 6th Form


The majority of pupils return to our sixth form. Links with other schools have enabled pupils to follow additional courses specific to their career requirements.

Entry into Sixth Form is dependent on achieving a minimum of;

• 5 GCSEs at grades A*-C, or
• 4 GCSEs at grades A*-C, plus 1 BTEC at Level 2 graded MERIT, or
• 3 GCSEs at grades A*-C, plus 2 BTECs at Level 2 graded MERIT.

Please note that a Level 2 PASS in OCN IT or OCN Applied Science will be accepted as an equivalent to a GCSE or BTEC qualification.

Please note that Occupational Studies qualifications or the Prince’s Trust (Personal Development & Employability) qualification, cannot be accepted as an equivalent for purposes of admission.
