Our Sixth Form campus buzzes with enthusiasm, energy and ambition. We’re looking
for students who share intellectual curiosity and want to achieve their full potential while
making the most of their time in the Sixth Form.

We’re delighted that you’re considering the Stephen Perse Sixth Form. This page outlines our
entrance requirements and key dates for your calendar. If you have any further questions that
aren’t answered on these pages, please do not hesitate to get in touch with our Admissions
team.

Entry requirements 

We’re a high-achieving Sixth Form so most students joining us are predicted top grades in all
the subjects they’re planning to study at A Level. However, we’re looking for academic potential above all else. We want bright, curious young people who love to learn - we don’t discriminate based on educational background.

An offer of a place at Sixth Form will be conditional on achieving a satisfactory school reference and the required results at GCSE or equivalent. 

Our offers are tailored to the individual applicant but, as a guide, we would require a minimum of 56 points for the eight best (I)GCSE results. For all subjects studied beforehand, we expect at least a Grade 7 at GCSE in that subject (or equivalent). For further maths, a Grade 8 in maths is required.

For subjects not studied before we expect:

• Business: 6 in English & 5 in Maths
• Classical Civilisation: 7 in English or History
• Film: 6 in English
• Philosophy: 7 in English or another essay subject
• Politics: 7 in History or English
• Economics: 7 in English or another essay subject
• Psychology: 6 in maths or a science & 6 in an essay subject
• Sociology: 7 in English or another essay subject

Offers are based on the subject choices declared on the application form. Should students later
decide to alter the choice of subjects, this will be subject to availability and further aptitude tests
may be necessary.
