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 Football Academy. 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 February.
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 ensure you make a note of this on your application. The course guide is available to look through if you’d like more information on any of the courses we offer.
