Joining Sixth
Form

Our Open Events, held throughout the year, provide an excellent opportunity for you to find out more about us and to explore our stunning 1200-acre campus. All our events give you a chance to see the College on a normal working day and meet the Headmaster and some of our wonderful pupils. We offer event specifically for Sixth Form entry.

Year 11 is the ideal time to register for a place to join us in Lower Sixth. Ideally your young person would be registered by the start of the Autumn Term in Year 10.

You will be invited to apply for a day, flexi ( 3 days) or weekly or full boarding place.

The registration window closes on 1st December prior to the year of entry.

There may be exceptions for joining outside these window, and will depend on the availability of space and compatibility with our curriculum.

If you would like to apply for a Bursary, please contact feesupport@lordwandsworth.org.

Our current requirement for entry into the Sixth Form is a minimum of six Grade 5s at GCSE (or the equivalent), preferably with Grade 7s in the subjects to be studied at A Level.

Places are offered on the basis of an interview with the academic team and Head of Sixth Form, academic assessment, predicted GCSE results and a reference from the pupil’s current school.

We hold Assessment Days in Dec and Feb. During the day students are interviewed by our Deputy Head (Academic) and Assistant Deputy Head (Academic) and our Head of Sixth Form

Students are asked to complete an essay as part of their assessment and to participate in a group discussion with the Headmaster.

As part of our assessment we are also looking for students who will thrive in our community and embrace breadth of offering here at the College.

The assessment process for the first round takes place towards the end of the Autumn term, with offers made in January. The second assessment day takes places at the end of February with offers made in March. Occasionally, a small number of places are available after this point.

There are 3 types of offer status: Unconditional Offer, Wait List Offer and Decline.

If your young person has received a wait list offer, it means that there is currently no place available. However, please know that we believe your child would thrive with us — the only reason we cannot offer a place is due to high demand exceeding the number of available places. We do anticipate some movement on the waiting list and remain hopeful that we will be able to offer a place in due course.

All places are specifically for day, flexi, weekly or full boarding.

Scholarships are awarded to those who demonstrate outstanding achievement and potential in their chosen field and who demonstrate a genuine interest and love of learning.

We invite families to join in late September for our Scholarship Information Morning.

The deadline for application is 1st December. The outcome of scholarship applications are announced after February half term.
