Sixth Form Applications September 2020 - Conditional Offers

Dear all applicants,

Your centre-assessed grades will be delivered via the MyEd application between 8am-12pm on Thursday 20th August. Due to the current local increase of COVID-19 cases we are mitigating any risk ahead of our reopening in September and will be limiting the number of students on site. We are, therefore, requesting that students only attend the school on that day if they need to meet with a key member of staff for the following reasons:

• You have applied or would like to apply to our Sixth Form,
• You are unsure of your next steps and want careers advice,
• You are looking for wellbeing support following the recent events (wellbeing team will be available).

All other students should stay home. For those students who will be coming onto site, please arrive at student reception from 8am where paper copies will be available if you are unable to access the, via the MyEd application. Social distancing and hygiene measures will be in place and we are asking that no parents/carers come on to site.

We are requesting that all external candidates do not come to the tomorrow during GCSE results day. We are following guidance from Public Health to limit external visitors onto site at this time.

Please can you complete the process via Admissions+ if you are still interested in taking up a place and upload a copy of your results. A member of the Sixth Form team will be in contact with you to discuss your application.

An Academic Sixth Form of Character
