Sixth Form Admissions

Up to a maximum of 120 places are offered to students in each year group within the the Sixth Form. Current students at school are given priority of admission, providing they meet entry requirements. However, each year we admit a number of students from other schools in the local and wider area who wish to attend our sixth form.

Students who apply for a place at SJB Sixth Form do so knowing that the school aims to provide an education based on Christian principles and therefore governors expect all students to play an active role in our school ethos.

Admissions for September 2025
Year 11 students (existing and external) are invited to attend our Open Evening on Tuesday 19th November 2024. This will commence from 3.30pm until 6.30pm. There will be a presentation from the Head of Sixth Form and Executive Headteacher at 4.00pm, repeated at 5.00pm. There will also be an opportunity to visit subjects and speak to students/staff about the various courses on offer.

Application forms are available and should be completed by Monday 16th December 2024.

Entry Requirements/Pathways

ROUTE ONE

3 A Levels and AdvSBW

For students who expect to achieve 5 or more A*-C grades in full course GCSE subjects, which include at least 3 or more B grades. Courses equivalent to GCSE do not count.

ROUTE TWO

3 A Levels /BTECs and AdvSBW

For students who expect to achieve 5 or more A*-C grades in a mixture of GCSE subjects (and equivalent), who predominantly achieve C grades. This 'combination route' is strongly recommended for students who fall into this category.

Most A Level subjects have an entry requirement of at least a C grade at GCSE. However, there are additional entry criteria for certain subjects

  • for individual science A Levels, you must have achieved at least a B grade in Triple or Double GCSE science at Higher Tier, and, in addition, at least a B grade in mathematics at Higher Tier if you want to study physics;
  • for A Level mathematics, you must have achieved at least a C Grade in both GCSE mathematics and GCSE numeracy and at least one B grade in either subject at Higher Tier; and
  • for A Level English literature, you must have achieved at least a C Grade in both GCSE English language and GCSE English literature and at least one B grade in either subject.

Please be aware, the Advanced Skills Baccalaureate Wales (AdvSBW) qualification is a compulsory element of both curriculum pathways.
