Sixth form published admission number

Sixth form entry requirements
To be eligible to enter the Sixth Form both internal and external applicants will be expected to meet minimum academic entry criteria for the Sixth Form as a whole. When the Sixth Form is undersubscribed all applicants meeting the minimum academic entry requirements will be admitted. They will also be expected to have met the published academic standard for their chosen subjects to be permitted to follow their preferred courses. If not suitably qualified for their preferred courses, pupils will be offered alternatives (if available).
 
The Academy will publish specific criteria in relation to minimum entrance requirements for the Sixth Form and for the range of courses available based upon GCSE grades or other measures of prior attainment. These criteria will be published in the Academy’s prospectus, on the website and in the Composite Admissions booklet.
Sixth form oversubscription criteria

The Academy will first accept all pupils with a statutory right to a place at the Academy through an Education Health and Care Plan naming the Academy.

In the event of oversubscription for the Sixth Form places available in addition to those allocated to existing students, and after the admission of children named in A above, the following criteria will be used, in order:

  1. Looked After children or previously Looked After children.
  2. Children of teaching staff in either or both of the following circumstances;
    1. where the member of staff has been employed at the Academy for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission to the Academy is made; and the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skills shortage.
  3. Other children.

In the event of oversubscription, within the above criterion, preference will be given to children who live nearest the Academy site by straight line distance.

In the event that two or more distances are exactly the same, the Academy will use a method of random allocation by lot, drawn by an independent person outside of the Academy.
