This make sense, many thanks for the detailed answer.If you look at the 'Admissions' section for any school, you should see, for all, the main round (year 7 intake) admissions details and the way that in-year admissions are processed.
Then for a school with a sixth form, with the singular exception of a certain boys' grammar school in north London, which does not entertain the thought of diluting its purity - sorry, have a second formal point of entry at year 12 - there will be a formal policy for entry at that point. All of these are regulated by the Admissions Code, but e.g. schools with no academic selection for entry from year 7 to year 11 are permitted to introduce academic thresholds for enrolment onto A level courses. They can also prioritise applicants from their own year 11, but must stipulate the same baseline academic requirements for both internal and external applicants, E.g. Total of 50 points from best 8 GCSEs, plus minimum grade 5 in English and Maths, plus a minimum of a grade 6 in a subject to be studied at A level , or whatever.Yes.
Many thanks for quick reply, very appreciated.
If the pupils are not qualified same school six form, they have to choose another school?
Or apply to a sixth form college / further education college.
Open evenings are round about now in a lot of areas. Schools typically only have the one, and may have quite an early application deadline. Colleges often have several and are more likely to be flexible about accepting applications at more random times. The applicant can (and probably should, to cover different GCSE outcomes) hold more than one provisional offer and confirm which they are taking up when they get their results.
