Admission Process

Admission to the sixth form (2010/11) including admission number for those admitted for the first time.

The admission number for the Post-16 centre will be 170, of which we anticipate that the minimum number of applications to Year 12 from outside the school will be 20.

The West Bridgford School Post-16 Centre only offers A level courses Subsequently, we propose the following admissions criteria:

3 A/S level subjects (plus General Studies) > 3 at grade B or above in subjects to be studied (plus a further 2 or more GCSEs at grade C or above)

4 A/S level subjects (plus General Studies) > 2 at grade A/A* and 2 at grade B (or higher) in the subjects to be studied (plus 1 or more GCSEs at grade C or above)

Students will only be considered if they have achieved a minimum of grade C at GCSE level in both English and Mathematics.

These requirements do not include English oral grades or GCSE half course grades. There will be no upper admission limit for applications to Year 12 from outside the school.

1.0 Children who already attend the school and meet the entry criteria

2.0 In the event of an over-subscription of the above criteria proximity to the school will be used with those living   nearer being given priority. Distance measurements to be made ' as the crow flies' from the home address to the main reception office of the school.
