Apply Sixth Form

How to apply

Applications are made directly to our sixth form and can be made via a link that will show on this website.

Each student must complete an application form with details of predicted grades and related course options. After submitting an application, each student will have a formal admissions interview with a member of the Sixth Form team in February. We then send out conditional offers based on the student’s predicted grades and their related courses options at that time. Offers are subject to change in accordance with the actual results a student achieves.

If you have any questions about the admissions process, don't hesitate to get in contact.

Pathways

We offer two key pathways at Ark St Alban's Sixth Form.

A Level Pathway

We offer the core academic A Level subjects that we know are most valued by good universities, and that allow you to keep your progression options as open as possible. Most students will study three linear A levels; some will take a fourth subject, depending on GCSE results.

Professional Pathways

Professional Pathways is an innovative programme of study for Ark BTEC students aged 16-18, comprising a high quality vocational curriculum that is directly relevant to the workplace and teaches students key employability skills. This programme is aimed at preparing students to apply for selective universities or for progression directly into employment through school leaver programmes or degree apprenticeships.

In-Year Application Form

An in-year admission is when you apply to a school outside the normal admissions round for pupils starting in September. You would normally make an in-year application if you have recently moved, you have arrived from another country or you want to transfer your child from another school.

Applications made to any year group outside the main admissions round should be made directly to the local authority. You will hear the outcome of your application within 15 school days.
