Sixth form entry requirements
King Edward’s Sixth Form provides an academic A Level pathway to Higher Education and therefore entry into the Sixth Form is selective and dependent upon students meeting the entry criteria set out below:
 
Candidates must achieve a minimum of 4 GCSE grades at Level 6 or above, plus English and Mathematics at a Level 5 or above.
Sixth form oversubscription criteria
Where there are more qualified candidates than places then the following oversubscription criteria will apply:
  • Average GCSE [Best 8] points score rank order.
Having met the General Entry requirements the Sixth Form team will then determine a viable course of study with each individual student in line with each department’s course entry requirements as set out in the Sixth Form Course Guide.
 
Course places are awarded in the following order:
  1. Course qualified students transferring from King Edward’s year 11.
  2. The remaining course qualified students will then be selected for the course in average GCSE point score rank order.

Tie break: where there are two students for the final place on a course with the same highest 8 GCSE average point score then the student with the higher score on their course required GCSE will gain the place.

Courses will run in the following circumstances:

Where the course has a minimum of 6 students starting the course in September of Year 12 or where it is possible to structure the teaching of the course to enable a mixed Year 12 and Year 13 class of a minimum of 6 to run.

The school plans and budgets are based upon a specific curriculum design that is predicated on a specific number of classes; sets and groups in each year group. The school will always act flexibly to try and accommodate students’ preferences but cannot guarantee being able to offer all courses or to add new sets when to do so would be unviable.

The school reserves the right to withdraw courses that are not viable and to determine the number of sets that are offered.
