A minimum GCSE Points Score of 38 points from a students’ best eight GCSE results is required to follow a three A Level curriculum.

Students will be considered on a case-by-case basis for the Combined route of vocational and A Level qualifications if they have met the minimum entry requirement of 30 points.

The GCSE Points Score is a points total which counts a student’s best 8 GCSE grades including English and Maths. Add your best 8 grades together using the points awarded on the following scale:

In the event of over-subscription, the following (in addition to the above) will apply:

1. Looked-after children will be given first priority¹.
2. Proximity of the child’s home to the school, on the basis of straight-line distance, with those living nearest being accorded the higher priority.
3. For the purposes of Points 1 and 2 above, the school does not distinguish between internal and external applicants.

¹ Under the Children Act 1989, a child is legally defined as ‘looked after’ by a local authority if he or she (a) gets accommodation from the local authority for a continuous period of more than 24 hours, (b) is subject to a care order (to put the child into the care of the local authority), or (c) is subject to a placement order (to put the child up for adoption).
