Sixth form entry requirements
This admissions policy applies to students seeking admission to Year 12 at either school within The Robert Carre Trust, namely Carre’s Grammar School and Kesteven and Sleaford High School, and covers admission into Year 13 for those wishing to complete their studies at either school.
 
All offers of a place in Year 12 will be made on condition of students meeting the Trust entry requirements laid out below.
 
We offer two pathways in the Sixth Form:
 
The minimum requirements for students who wish to study A Levels are 5 GCSEs full course at grade 5+ and at least grade 4 in Mathematics and grade 4 in English Language or Literature. In addition students must meet the specific individual entry requirement for each subject they wish to study. Full details are in the SJSF prospectus and as published on the website in the Autumn Term.
 
The minimum entry requirements for students who wish to study BTEC or CTEC qualifications or a mix of BTEC and CTEC qualifications and Applied A Levels is the equivalent of at least 5 subjects at grade 4+, including English Language or Literature grade 4+. In addition students must meet the minimum entry requirements specified by the subject of their choice, as published in the SJSF prospectus and on the website in the Autumn Term.
 
Students will only be admitted to the Sixth Form if their courses can be efficiently and effectively provided. The governors need to consider the use of rooms, the curriculum, budget and staffing when considering the number and types of courses that can be offered.
 
Where students applying to the Sixth Form at The Robert Carre Trust do not have GCSEs their other formal equivalent qualifications will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Student qualifications will be considered along with other information provided by the student’s current school, in an attempt to make a fair assessment of the application.
Sixth form oversubscription criteria

  2. A child who has been registered for Pupil Premium (those registered for Free School Meals at any point in the previous six years) who has met the entrance requirements.
  3. Students who, at the time of admission, have siblings at either school within The Robert Carre Trust.
Should the number of applicants exceed the number of places available, then places will be offered to those applicants whose place of permanent residence is nearest to the school.
This will be by straight line distance from the post office address point of the home to the
post office address point of the school.
 
If distance is not sufficient to distinguish between applicants for the last place then a lottery
will be conducted.
