How To Apply
After taking GCSE examinations at the end of year 11 most Westholme students enter the Sixth Form for a two-year course in advanced GCE. Each year the school also welcomes a number of new students into the sixth form from other schools.
To enter the sixth form you are required to have at least six GCSE passes at grade C or above and ideally a grade B in the subjects that you would like to take at AS/A2 level.
If you are from another school, you are welcome to come to our Open Evening which usually takes place in the October preceding September entry. Alternatively you can visit for a one-to-one with Mrs Waldron, Head of Sixth Form, at your convenience. We understand this is a big step and would encourage you to come to visit the school if at all possible. We also hold a taster day for students from other schools in December to give you the opportunity to sample some lessons and get a feel for the atmosphere on a normal working day.
External entry to the Sixth Form is by GCSE results and interview with the Head of Sixth Form.
For further details or information, please contact Mrs Rachel Waldron, Head of Sixth Form
