Sixth Form Admissions Policy 2010

In September 2010, the school will have a capacity for 300 in the Sixth Form allowing us to admit 160 into Year 12 in 2010, with 15 places available to external students. Girls will be admitted on the basis of application with good GCSE results (at least six subjects at grades A*–B).

The student will be expected to adhere to the ethos and support the rules of the School and show the ability to follow an academic AS A2 level course or the International Baccalaureate course. The criteria for over–subscription will be as for Year 7*. For ‘primary school’ read ‘secondary school.’ Entry to the Sixth Form is not subject to co-ordination by the L.A.

NOTES:

1. If an application for admissions from either internal or external candidates has been turned down by the governing Body then an appeal can be made to an Independent Appeals Panel. Parents and students are able to appeal jointly or separately against any decision refusing a young person admission and, where they appeal separately, the appeals must be heard together. This appeal must be sent in writing to the Clerk to the Governors at the school within 14 days (10 working days) or refusal. Reasons for the appeal must be given in writing and the decision of the Appeals Panel is binding on the Governors.



2. The Governing Body expects that all students specifically selecting a Catholic Sixth Form education will wish to be both fully involved in the ethos and spiritual life of the school, and in achieving the aims set out in its Mission Statement.
