Sixth Form Admissions

Our Sixth Form Open Evening for students joining Sixth Form in September 2023 will be on Thursday 17th November 2022, 6:00pm – 8:00pm.

During the evening there will be presentations from the Headteacher, Mr Carey and Miss Riebold, Director of Sixth Form (times tbc). Booking is not required to attend the Open Evening and more information will be available on our website in October, including our Sixth Form 2023 prospectus and course outlines.

We are still accepting applications to join our waiting list for places in Sixth Form for the current academic year. For more information, please email sixthform@shsg.org. The last date of admission for Year 12 is Friday 30th September 2022.

The overall entry requirements for Sixth Form are:

• 46 points from your eight best full GCSEs. We will accept one non-GCSE equivalent grade in replace of a GCSE within the points total. Short courses, or GCSEs at grade 4 or below, will not be included in the points score; and
• A minimum of grade 5 in Maths and English; and
• A minimum of two GCSEs at grade 7 or above.

In addition to the overall entry requirements for Sixth Form, each A Level subject has minimum GCSE subject requirements.  We recommend you read our Sixth Form Prospectus and the Course Outlines for each subject before making an application.

All students will begin Year 12 with four A Level subjects.  Please note that students wishing to study Further Maths must also study Maths at A Level.  Due to similarities in course content, students cannot choose to study both Economics and Business Studies at A Level.
