Sixth Form Admissions

The Sixth Form at CHS is a new beginning with greater independence and personal responsibility, a more flexible timetable and a growing focus on life beyond CHS.

Approximately 20 students join our Sixth Form each year who quickly integrate into the year group through induction activities and social events, as well as a dedicated mentor to provide support and advice throughout their journey. 

We are looking for individuals who are not just academically strong but also bring interesting perspectives and ambition. At CHS, we believe in seizing every opportunity, and we want students who are enthusiastic about making the most of what our school has to offer.

 

Entry Information

Our experience in recent years suggests that in order to be comfortable with the academic pace of A Level study at CHS students require an attainment level equivalent to 56 points (from 9 subjects) in their GCSE exams. Subjects graded 9-1 are allocated points equal to the number grade awarded. We use this as a guide to suitability, not an immovable requirement.

In addition to points, we look for a student’s proven commitment to academic study and Sixth Form subject choices. 

We are happy to offer advice regarding subject combinations during your interview. All offers of places to join the Sixth Form will be conditional on final GCSE results in the August preceding entry and a positive School report.
