A levels: Students must have 5A* to C at GCSE (including Grade 5 or above in GCSE English and Maths) with a grade B or above in the most relevant subject. (Please see the table below for subject specific requirements).
Please note, students that achieve a grade 4 in either GCSE Maths or GCSE English may still be able to study A levels in the Sixth form if they meet the other entry criteria.
Level 3 Btec courses: Students must have 5A* to C at GCSE (including Grade 4 or above in GCSE English and Maths).
Please note, students that achieve a grade 3 in either GCSE Maths or GCSE English may still be able to study in the Sixth form if they meet the other entry criteria. Students will be required to resit GCSE Maths and English in year 12 if they achieve less than a grade 4.
