Any student wishing to apply for entry into our Sixth Form should complete this online application form.
Students should check the entry requirements in the Sixth Form at King Edward’s prospectus, these are found on page 17. The entry requirements are a guide, and our informed judgement on what level of attainment at GCSE will mean successful progress and attainment at A Level. Do not let the entry requirements deter you from an application; be aspirational and let them be a motivator for your Summer exams. Every application, after results, will be judged on its own individual merit. All applicants will be considered and be invited to interview after results in August.
You should also check that your chosen combination of subjects are possible within the timetable. Use the latest option pool document to check. Applicants are invited to choose three A Level subjects from the four option pools. These pools are provisional at present. If your combination of subjects does not work, make a note on the application form and we will investigate and try our best. In the very small number of incidents where combinations of subjects cannot be accommodated, applicants will be invited for a meeting to discuss.
Bridging Week will take place during the week beginning 9 July, where students will try their chosen subjects for a week. This is an excellent week where students will get to know Sixth Form and our staff.
Following GCSE results in August, all students should confirm their final subject choices using an online form which will be available on our website on results day.

We have been named a ‘champion school’ by the National Citizen Service (NCS) thanks to its commitment to the youth programme. The school are delighted to be recognised for the third year in succession.
Leanne Johnston, Assistant Headteacher said “While it is nice to be recognised as a school and we are delighted with the reward, it is for the young people. The experience and opportunites offered by the NCS programme far outweigh any recognition we get as a school. We are proud of our association with NCS and we hope this continues, the aim is for every student in Years 11 and 12 to participate.”
