We are delighted that you are considering King’s High School for a place in our sixth form for the next academic year. We welcome girls into the sixth form each year to join our community of Changemakers as both day pupils and boarders. If you would like to find out more, then please do arrange a visit to see what King’s High has to offer. Our upcoming events are now available to book, or if you prefer, you can book a private tour with our friendly Admissions team.

The Sixth Form Admissions process

Applications are now open for Year 12 place starting in September 2025 – if you are ready to apply, simply complete our application form, submit your personal statement and pay the registration fee and we will be in touch with next steps.

Sixth Form applicants will be invited to an interview with the school’s senior team. Following the interview, successful applicants will be issued an offer to study with us. These offers will usually be conditional on achieving GCSE grades required for chosen A-level courses but this will be discussed at interview.

The deadline for Sixth Form applications for September 2025 is Friday 28 February 2025. Later applications may be considered but this will be dependent on demand for places and so early applications are advised.

Entry requirements

Entry into the Sixth Form from Year 11 at King’s is dependent upon students achieving a strong set of GCSE grades, with usually Grade 7 in those subjects chosen for A Level. The majority of girls will have Grade 6s and above at GCSE.

For external candidates, an equivalent qualification may, be accepted if you do not study our GCSE/IGCSE subjects.

King’s High is an ambitious school, with positive and inspiring values. We expect our Sixth Form students to support and promote the values of the school, demonstrating an outstanding attitude to curricular and extracurricular learning.
