Sixth Form Course Information Booklet

The Sixth Form team will use ENIC, the official provider of international qualification comparability in the UK, to establish equivalent grades for students with qualifications other than GCSEs. In addition, pupils with qualifications other than GCSEs will need an IELTS score of 4.

Full Boarding applicants are required to attend a suitability for boarding interview.

 Eligibility for State Education

As a state boarding school, all applicants enrolled must be eligible for state education in the UK.  If the applicant does not hold a British or Irish passport, it is in their interest to check eligibility. This can be done on the UK Government website here.  

Please note that whilst we can accept applications from all over the world, we are unable to support student visas with a CAS reference number. 

The following children are entitled to study at a state-funded school:

• British and Irish citizens
