at grades 9-4 (A* to C ) and typically a minimum of grade 7 or 6 (A or B) in the chosen areas of Sixth Form study. Whatever your grades, the Head Master must be confident that each potential Sixth Former (internal or external) has the academic qualifications as well as the sufficient maturity and self-discipline to participate in the curriculum and in the life of the Sixth Form. In making this assessment the Head Master might take previous records and reports into account.
