Applications
Following our Open Evening on 17th November, we welcome the opportunity to meet new applicants and show them round our facilities. All applicants will be invited for interview in the Spring Term and tours can also be arranged. All applicants are considered equally, regardless of where they are enrolled for Year 11. We look forward to receiving all your applications.
Three key reminders for you –
1) To gain a place in Abbeyfield Sixth Form you must achieve five or more passes at a grade 4 or better. This includes for the Performing Arts and Football Academies. If taking a subject at GCSE, you will need a good passing grade to be able to pursue the course in sixth form, and many subjects have a requirement of at least a grade 6. Try to be realistic in your choices, while challenging yourself to achieve your best.
2) All students are expected to select 4 main subjects on your application. This allows you to keep your options open at this stage, and we will discuss your choices with you at an interview in March.
3) Please ensure that your choice of subjects are all in different blocks. If there is a problem with clashes of subjects you want to do, please respond to Question 20 on the form. The course guide is available to look through if you’d like more information on any of the courses we offer.
If you have any concerns or questions, please come and find Claire Wawrzesta, Head of Post-16, or email claire.wawrzesta@abbeyfieldschool.org.uk or Mrs Collier, Sixth Form Student Support Manager karen.collier@abbeyfieldschool.org.uk
