How to Apply for the Sixth Form
Applications for Sixth Form here
The Published Admission Number (PAN) for Year 12 in September 2025 is 56. This is the number of places which will be offered on an annual basis to eligible external applicants. Entry to the Sixth Form is not subject to coordination by the Local Authority
Year 11 students at Colyton do not have to make a formal application for sixth form – they may move on to sixth form if they meet the academic criteria for the courses they wish to take.
They can only be refused progression to the sixth form if they fail to meet any academic criteria for progression.
The same academic criteria will be applied to all students, whether they are internal students seeking progression or external applicants seeking admission.
Internal ApplicantsCurrent Colyton Grammar School year 11 students will be asked to complete their option choices; completion of this process will be treated as their expression of interest to continue into the sixth form. Form tutors will advise and guide them through this process. Internal students who submit option choices before the deadline, and meet the admissions criteria have a guaranteed place. Please note the same entry requirements apply to internal and external applicants. |
External Applicants OnlyThere is no entrance exam to join the Colyton Grammar School sixth form but external applicants need to fill in an online application form. Applications must be made directly to Colyton Grammar School using the online application form. Please contact the school if you are unable to do so. |
Financial SupportWe believe that students should be given every opportunity to reach their full potential, which is why we can offer financial support in the form of bursaries to students who are eligible. |
Admission ProcessThe admissions process for routine admission into Year 12 in 2024/2025 begins in November. Applications must be made to Colyton Grammar School and NOT to the Local Authority. The application process will be made available from 4th October 2024 and parents/students should expect to receive an acknowledgement of their application. As a State Funded Selective Academy, there are no tuition fees for the Sixth Form at Colyton Grammar School. |
After The DeadlineDeadline for applications: 29th January 2025 Applications received after the deadline will be treated as late applications, but will be considered if submitted by 1st September 2025. Late applications will be considered once all on time applications have been dealt with. |
Fraudulent ApplicationsAny information that is subsequently proven to have been provided fraudulently will potentially invalidate that application. |
Provisional OffersAny offer of a place in the Sixth Form will be conditional upon the GCSE results achieved by the student. |
Entry Requirements Into The Sixth FormThe minimum entry requirements for the Colyton Grammar School Sixth Form are the same regardless of whether you are already a student at the school or if you would like to apply to join us from another school. You will be required to achieve a minimum of 54 points from your best eight GCSEs (or equivalent) including at least grade 5 at GCSE in English and Maths or a DfE recognised equivalence. The school will require a GCSE grade of at least grade 7 in any subject to be studied at A Level. The exception to this is that grade 8 is required in Mathematics to study Further Mathematics and grade 7 in Mathematics to study Physics.
