Our core entry requirements are six or more GCSEs at grade 5+ including maths, English literature and English language.
You will also need to achieve at least a grade 5 in the subjects you wish to study at A-Level. If you are new to a subject we will consider achievement in the GCSE that most closely corresponds.
We expect our students to study at least three A-Levels and will support you to achieve the highest grades.
