Year 11 students at Lincoln Christ’s Hospital School may progress to Year 12 provided that they meet both the general academic standards and the subject specific standards for the subjects they wish to undertake and it is possible to offer their selected subject combination within the planned timetable organisation.

Year 11 students joining from other schools may enter Year 12 provided that they meet both the general academic standards and the subject specific standards for the subjects they wish to undertake and it is possible to offer their selected subject combination within the planned timetable organisation.

Where the preferred subjects are not available or cannot be timetabled or the applicant does not meet subject specific standards, if possible, we will offer a place for an alternative set of subjects, if the student meets the standards for those alternative subjects.

Subject specific requirements are given in the Sixth Form prospectus each year which is available from the school and on the school's website. Any student who has not achieved GCSE grade 4 in English Language or Mathematics must also continue to study that subject(s).

The general academic standards, which all applicants must normally meet, are:

For A Level courses. Five grades 9-4 at GCSE (or equivalent) including grade 5 in English and Mathematics.

Specific GCSE entry requirements, in addition to the above may be applicable to specific A-Level qualifications. For example, gaining a grade 6 at GCSE level in the same subject at A-Level.

The subjects on offer, and their entry requirements, may have slight variations from year to year. Please see the annual school prospectus for individual courses.

For all vocational courses. Five grades 9-4 at GCSE (or equivalent) including English and Mathematics.

The subjects on offer, and their entry requirements, may have slight variations from year to year. Please see the annual school prospectus for individual courses.

The Published Admission Number applicable to students from other schools wishing to join the Sixth Form at Lincoln Christ’s Hospital School is 100.

Before considering any other applicants, the Governors will allocate places to students with statements or EHC (Education Healthcare) plans where the school is named.

If there are more applications than available places, we will apply the following criteria, in the order listed, to rank the applicants and identify those to be offered places. We use the same criteria to operate the reserve list, which will operate until the end of term in December.

1.         Looked After Children and all Previously Looked After Children. A looked after child is a child who is (a) in the care of a local authority, or (b) being provided with accommodation by a local authority in the exercise of their social services functions (see the definition in Section 22 (1) of the Children Act 1989) at the time of making an application to a school. Previously looked after children are children who were looked after, but ceased to be so because they were adopted. This includes children who were adopted under the Adoption Act 1976 (see section 12 adoption orders) and children who were adopted under the Adoption and Children’s Act 2002 (see section 46 adoption orders).

2.         Siblings of Lincoln Christ’s Hospital School students at the time of application.

3.         Increasing order of distance, measured in a straight line from the school.

In the event of a tie on straight line distance for the last place, we would resolve the tie by a random allocation drawn by an independent person.
