ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

To be offered a place at High Storrs Sixth Form, you need to meet our entry requirements:

  • Five GCSE grades 9 to 4, including Mathematics and English Language
  • Subject specific entry requirements for your chosen A Levels. These are in our prospectus

Please note that all courses are subject to change, depending on the number of students who apply and the availability of teaching staff.

Personalised Contact

To us, you are more than applicant - even before we meet and get to know you. Our dedicated Admissions Coordinator, Miss Everitt, will keep in contact with you about your application, offering guidance on A Level choices if you need this. We always seek to support our students' choices, so if you wish to change an A Level option, Miss Humphreys will always endeavour to accommodate this change.

Once you have completed your GCSEs, the Head of Year and Student Support Assistant will be in touch to support your transition to High Storrs Sixth Form.

If you have particular needs that we can support with, we may invite you in to ensure that we can personalise your transition programme for you.

APPLICANT DAY

Each summer, we host one transition day, known as High Storrs Sixth Form Applicant Day. The programme is designed to help you get to know High Storrs Sixth Form and usually includes:

  • Welcome assembly
  • Meet the staff team
  • Student support session
  • Meet your new form tutor
  • Welcome from students
  • Tour of the school and Sixth Form areas
  • Taster lessons for your chosen A Levels

Feedback from our Applicant Day is always very positive. By undertaking this transition before the summer, it means that you will have a strong, focused start in September. Starting your A Levels is also much easier because you have already met your teachers, form tutor and classmates.
