Key Dates

The County Upper Sixth Form welcomes applications from students who are completing their GCSE studies either in our main school or in schools other than County Upper who both support our ethos and meet our entry criteria.

Details about our Sixth Form and our entry requirements are available in the County Upper School Sixth Form Prospectus which can be viewed from the attachments section on this page.

Please attend our Sixth Form Open Evening on Thursday 13 October 2022, 6-8pm.  You will have the chance to meet the team and ask any questions.  We are happy to help!  Applications to County Upper Sixth Form open on Thursday 13 October. The deadline for applications is Friday 9 December. The links to the application forms are available above the Key Dates section on this page. When your application form is completed, please email to sixthformapplications@countyupper.org. Please be aware that if you do not apply at this stage, your chosen subjects may not be available due to group sizes and staffing requirements. If clarification is needed, we may ask to see you to discuss your application.

We will process your application and ask your current school (if not CU) for an academic reference to confirm your potential to meet our entry requirements. Please inform your current school of your intention to apply to us.

We will arrange interviews to discuss your aspirations, aptitude and subject choices during March 2022 and place offers will follow (subject to you obtaining the required grades).

GCSE results will be released on Thursday 24 August 2023. It is at this point that you will know if you have achieved the grades required to be accepted onto the courses you wish to study. Your timetable will be based on the choices on your application.

You should then confirm your wish to join us for September 2023 and proof of your GCSE attainment will need to be emailed to Mr S Harrison or Mr S Turner.

If you require more information or we can help in any way, please contact our Heads of Sixth Form, Mr Harrison and Mr Turner on sharrison@countyupper.org or sturner@countyupper.org.
