2023 and 2024 oversubscription criteria
  1. Looked after children and all previously looked after children including those children who appear to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted
  2. A child who lives within the designated area for school transport.
  3. Siblings who will still be attending when the child is due to start.
  4. Straight line distance from the home to the school, priority given to those living closest

If distance is not sufficient to distinguish between applicants for the last place then a lottery will be conducted.

Sixth form entry requirements
We usually offer two pathways in the Sixth Form:
  • A Level Pathway (A Level and Vocational)
  • Level 2 pathway qualifications
The minimum entry requirement for sixth form is five qualifications at GCSE grade 2 or above or BTEC or OCR Level 2 courses at pass or above. This must include English Language at grade 3 or above. The minimum entry requirement into sixth form does not mean entry on to all courses. Individual subjects may have additional specific requirements which are published as an appendix in the full policy.
 
Applicants need to be aware that the operation of all pathways and individual courses is dependent on the recruitment of sufficient numbers of suitably qualified students.
Allocation of courses will depend on the suitability of individual students – this will be guided by the Head of Sixth Form.
Always contact the Head of Sixth form about entry as we will look at things on a case by case basis.
 
Progression on courses will be monitored closely and reviewed periodically. It is expected that students will attend any additional subject intervention to ensure they are progressing on their courses.
Sixth form oversubscription criteria
Sometimes we may be able to offer a place in the Sixth Form, but not on the preferred course(s). If there are too many appropriately qualified applicants for a particular subject we apply the following criteria to decide who we will offer a place to:
  1. children in public care;
  2. lottery, witnessed by an independent observer.
We will apply the same criteria if there are too many applicants from other schools.
 
We can only run individual courses if there is sufficient demand; it is not always possible to run subjects where there are less than 10 students who wish to take the course.
