The minimum requirement for entry from outside to the Sixth Form
is at least six good grades (A/B) at GCSE. Candidates will need to
show determination to succeed in their chosen courses. Admission is
dependent on ability, commitment and a good attitude to study as
demonstrated at GCSE.
Once an application has been made, you will receive an
invitation for interview. These will be held in March, one evening
after school, so that you do not miss any of your GCSE classes. You
will be asked to bring your school reports, record of achievement
and Mock Examination results with you. If you are considering Art
or Technology as one of your options, you should also bring your
portfolio. Offers will be based on your interview and your school
reference. Students who apply for financial assistance will be
required to take a CAT Test.
Any offers made at this stage will be provisional until the GCSE
results are known. Once you have received an offer, you will be
invited to join us for an Introductory Day in late June when the
GCSE examinations are over. This will give you the opportunity to
meet staff from the subjects you have chosen and students from your
year group.
Bursary support is available to students applying to join the
Girls' Division Sixth Form. We award bursaries after consideration
of family income and a student's academic merit; in order to help
us ascertain the academic potential of a girl applying for a
bursary we will require her to sit a cognitive test administered by
the School.

"All the girls are so welcoming and pleasant and always have a
smile on their faces. They are really enthusiastic about their
studies and will always help you out with school work or any other
problems you may have.
There is such a relaxed atmosphere in school, especially in the
Sixth Form and all the members of staff put in all their efforts
