Entry into Sixth Form

We are now accepting applications for September 2025 entry. Please apply via the link below. Please note applications will only be accepted via Applicaa and the deadline to apply is Friday 24th January 2025. 

Admissions

We welcome applications from new students who share our high expectations and want to get actively involved in the wider life of our School and Sixth Form. Every year we offer places to a number of students from outside the School, wishing to join our community. Applicants from outside the School will need to complete an application form and are strongly recommended to attend the annual November Open Evening and to apply early. Students may be invited into School to discuss their subject choices. Existing Year 11 in Camp Hill Girls will receive advice about courses throughout the year, and an individual discussion with senior staff.  Almost all of our Year 11 students choose to take their A Levels at Camp Hill.  Our main wish is that students come with the intention of working hard and taking advantage of the wide range of academic, extracurricular and social activities that we offer.

 

Sixth Form entry requirements for September 2025, for both external and internal applicants are:

• Six GCSEs at grade 6 or above, including English Language and Mathematics.
• Grade 7 or above in each of the subjects (or related subjects) that students wish to study at A Level.
• However, in Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics, it is strongly recommended that students achieve a grade 8 or above, as this indicates that they will be capable of dealing with the demands of these courses. 
• For Further Mathematics, students must achieve a grade 9 in GCSE Mathematics. 
• Subject to availability of places on certain courses, a grade 6 may be considered (please note: this does not apply to the Science subjects).

We do not apply catchment areas for our Sixth Form intake, nor do we prioritise students in receipt of the Sixth Form bursary. Offers of places in the Sixth Form will be conditional on achievement of results and the capacity on students’ chosen courses.

Please note: We reserve the right to adjust entry requirements in light of the national picture for numerical grade outcomes each summer.

Oversubscription criteria for External Applicants

In the event of oversubscription for external applicants, priority will be given to:  

Candidates who have applied to study at least two subjects from the following: Fine Art; Music; Drama; English Literature; French; Spanish; German; Latin; Geography; History; Government and Politics; and Religious Studies, Philosophy and Ethics. Candidates in this category will be ranked by straight line distance of their home address to the school, with places offered to those living nearest to school. (Please note that, where an offer is made on the basis of these subject choices, a student will not be able to change courses either before starting at the school or during the course of their sixth form studies)

Scholarships

Available to both existing and prospective joiner students

The school is able to offer a limited number of discretionary scholarships to students who study Arts, Languages or Humanities subjects, and this will be in the form of a financial contribution towards educational resources or peripatetic music tuition. A scholarship may be awarded where a student is considered to show the most merit and potential in that subject within the applicant pool. All external applicants and existing Camp Hill students who achieve at least a grade 8 in the relevant subject will automatically be considered for a scholarship as part of the sixth form application process. The school reserves the right not to award a scholarship in any given year. Any scholarship places offered remain conditional on the criteria set out in the ‘Conditions of Offers’ above.
