Sixth form entry requirements
St George's Academy is part of the Sleaford Joint Sixth Form with The Robert Carre’s Trust which includes Carre's Grammar School and Kesteven and Sleaford High School.
 
All offers of a place in Year 12 will be made on condition of students meeting the school entry requirements for their individual course of study. Due to the many variations in Key Stage 5 Curriculum at level 2 and level 3, specific entry criteria for the current curriculum offer can be found in the Sleaford Joint Sixth Form Prospectus, available via the academy website and in paper format on request.
 
Students will only be admitted to the Sixth Form if their courses can be efficiently and effectively provided.
 
Where students applying to the Sixth Form at St George’s Academy do not have GCSE or qualifications, it will be necessary to consider applications 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 fair assessment of the application. This process is entirely at the discretion of the Governing Body.
Sixth form oversubscription criteria

The Academy Trust will first accept all pupils with a statutory right to a place at the Academy through a statement of special educational needs name St George's Academy.

  1. Children in Local Authority Care
  2. Current Family Association – a brother or sister in the same school at the time of entry. In this context brother or sister means children who live as brother or sister in the same house, natural brothers or sisters, adopted siblings, stepbrother or sisters and foster brothers and sisters.
  3. Descending rank order of their average GCSE points score across eight subjects.

In the event of a tie, we will give priority to:

  • Those living nearest to the school measured in a straight line distance as calculated by Lincolnshire County Council school admissions team from the Post Office Address Point of the home to the Post Office Address Point of the school
  • If two or more children are tied for the last place a lottery will be drawn by an independent person, not employed by the school or working in Children’s Service Directorate at the local authority.
  • In allocating a campus, consideration is taken of access to transport, if a child cannot access a particular campus by train or bus from their home.
