Three key things to remember
1. Check the entry requirements
To join Abbeyfield Sixth Form, you will need at least five GCSEs at grade 5 or above. Individual subjects may have additional entry requirements, with many requiring at least a grade 6. Choose subjects that are ambitious but realistic based on your predicted grades.
2. Choose four subjects
Select four subjects on your application. This keeps your options open at this stage. We will discuss your choices with you at your interview in February before you make your final decisions.
3. Check the subject blocks
Make sure your four choices are in different option blocks. If subjects you would like to study clash, note this on your application so that we can discuss your options with you.
You can find full details of each subject, including course content and entry requirements, in our Sixth Form Course Guide.
