Sixth Form Admissions

Please find details below which will help you in your consideration and application for Warwick School Sixth Form. You can also contact our Admissions team on 01926 776414 admissions@warwickschool.org to find out more.

Open Event

We held our Sixth Form Information Evening in October. If you didn't get a chance to join us or you would like to watch some our presentations again please go to our Sixth Form Virtual Experience.

Academic Requirements

Pupils wishing to follow a Sixth Form course at Warwick School must attain a minimum of 51 GCSE points from their best 8 GCSE grades. This figure is the equivalent of the previously stated entry requirements of three grade 7(A) and five grade 6(B).

Entry process

If you decide you would like your son to apply to Warwick School please complete the online application form. At the same time the non-refundable registration fee of £75 is required payable by bank transfer (please use your child's name as reference). A copy of your child's birth certificate should be uploaded within the application (mandatory) and their most recent school report. If you have any questions with the application please contact our Admissions Team: admissions@warwickschool.org / 01926 776414.

Entry to the Sixth Form is based on the outcome of an interview with the Head of Sixth Form and the Deputy Head Academic, a report from the candidate’s current school (with an indication of predicted grades at GCSE) and meeting the school’s academic requirements for entry to the Sixth Form.

Subsequent to the interview, and a satisfactory report, a conditional offer may be made for entry the following September.

Take a look at our fantastic new shared Sixth Form Centre for both Warwick School and King's High School, which provides space for both private study and opportunities to socialise together (whilst teaching remains single sex within the schools).

Sixth Form Scholarships

Sixth Form Scholarships are awarded in recognition of sustained hard work and outstanding attainment throughout the GCSE course. The Head Master may award one or two each year, after careful consultation with academic staff.  There is no process by which to apply for these awards. 

Candidates will be expected to gain at least six 8(A*) grades at GCSE. For external candidates evidence of this will be required from a school report. Candidates do not need to apply for a scholarship but will be identified at interview stage.

Bursaries

Warwick School, as part of the Warwick Schools Foundation, benefits from a scheme offering the possibility of free or discounted places based on financial need. These awards are offered on a sliding scale dependent upon parental income and subject to results of interviews.

Bursary awards are means tested. Only in exceptional circumstances would an award be made to a family with an income exceeding £40,000 after tax.

As well as the potential of a free or discounted place, help is also available towards other expenses including uniforms and educational trips.

Parents wishing to apply for a bursary will be required to submit details of their financial circumstances in full confidence.

All applicants are asked to indicate if they are applying for a Foundation Bursary.
