Sixth Form
Following a successful interview, a provisional offer of a place will be made which is dependent on:
- the receipt of a satisfactory reference from your daughter’s current school
- a sound performance in GCSE; we expect students to gain at least five grade 6s overall which should include Maths, English and a Science (regardless of the subjects to be taken at A Level). Typically, we require at least a grade 7 in subjects to be continued although this is higher in some subjects. Individual entry requirements for each subject can be found in the Options Booklet.
However, each application is considered individually and offers made accordingly.
5. Acceptance of an offer
Years 7-10
Offers for entry to Years 7-10 are sent out within two weeks of your daughter sitting her Entrance Examination.
When the provisional offer is made, you will be asked to confirm the subjects which your daughter wishes to study and to sign the parent contract.
Sixth Form
You will be asked to contact us on GCSE results day to notify us of the grades your daughter has achieved and, provided she has met the requirements specified in your offer letter, the provisional offer will be confirmed straightaway. Should she not meet the entry requirements, it may be possible to offer courses in alternative subjects and we would be happy to discuss the possibilities with you.
Parents of girls accepted for places will be asked to pay a deposit on acceptance of the place offered. The amount of the deposit is refunded to parents, when a student leaves the school.
Information on our Cancellation Policy can be found Here.
6. Induction programme
In May, an Admissions Pack is sent to all those who have accepted places.
An Induction Day for all new pupils is held in June or early July and in early September, before the start of term, all new Year 7 pupils and parents are invited to our informal “Hello High School” event.
