Stage 3 - Assessments and scholarships
We invite all those registered for a place in our Sixth Form to join us for an Assessment Day, which takes place in November prior to the year of entry.
The first round of assessments will involve written papers in verbal reasoning, maths and a general paper assessing aptitudes in scientific reasoning, reading and writing. This will be followed with a second round of interviews the following week.
Stage 4 - Offer and welcome
Following the November Assessment Day, conditional offers are made in December. These offers are conditional upon GCSE grades achieved and released the following August.
Once you have formally accepted your place for Year 12, we will invite you to an induction afternoon. We will also send you your welcome pack, where you will learn about events planned to help you settle in quickly.
