Interviews
We interview all potential Sixth Form applicants during Year 11. You will receive details of your interview shortly after you return your application form. The interview might take place at your school or the Sixth Form, depending on the school you are attending.
Don’t worry, the interview is not a formal one; it simply gives you the chance to discuss your application and ask any questions you might have about the courses that interest you and about the Sixth Form in general. It also gives those students who come into Sixth Form the opportunity to see students and staff during a normal working day. This gives a good idea of the activities going on here and a feel for the atmosphere.
At interview we will ask to see a copy of your most recent school report (or another document which gives your predicted grades). Some subjects (e.g. Art) may require you to submit some examples of your work.
If your interview takes place at your school then you can still come to the Sixth Form on another occasion for a tour. Please feel free to contact us and arrange a visit.
