Applications from Year 11 students from all schools are welcome. Once we receive your application, we will then be in contact with you to share all relevant information.
The courses you apply for in sixth form are an important part of your education and career path. Please begin by considering carefully the courses which are right for you, your future aspirations and career choice. If you are unsure about your likely GCSE results, talk to us so we can help you to decide the most suitable courses and route.
Applying is simple:
- Research your course choices through our prospectus or curriculum pages.
- Complete the application form below, including a minimum of 4 subjects in order of preference. This is important if a course does not run, also it may be possible for a student to study four A levels, in discussion with parents/carers and Dr Henderson.
- Return to [email protected] or to the main school reception.
You can email us directly to apply.
Course entry requirements:
- Five Grade 9 to 5 grades or equivalent, including a 5 or better in both an English GCSE and maths.
- A GCSE Grade 6 or above if you wish to study that subject at A level. A GCSE Grade 5/Merit if you wish to study that subject as a BTEC Level 3 course.
- Some subjects may have their own subject entry requirements.
- A proven good attendance and behaviour record.
Courses will run subject to the required number of students enrolling, staffing provisions and exam board approval. Courses will only run if there are viable numbers.
The completed options form will be checked to ensure that you have chosen a balanced range of subjects, allowing you to access to as wide a range of careers as possible in the future.
We will do our very best to accommodate your choices, but it will be necessary for reserve choices to be made. Therefore, you should choose your reserve choices carefully. We are offering a wide range of courses but may not be able to run them all.
We are confident that Teesdale’s sixth form provision is the best choice for many students. In September, regular reviews take place, and, in this time, subject choices (subject to approval and subjects offered) can be changed. Regular assessment takes place so that any concerns about progress can be swiftly addressed.
If you have any questions about the admissions process or your options for applying to Teesdale Sixth Form, please contact Dr Simon Henderson, Head of Sixth Form, at [email protected]
