The Application Process for September 2027 entry

Application Form
The application form for September 2027 is now open. We ask students to complete the application form themselves. Internal applicants have been sent a login in advance and external applicants will need to create their own account. Please complete this form – APPLICATION FORM

Open Morning
Our Sixth Form Open Morning will take place on the Saturday 17th October 2026.

The Head of Sixth Talks are now fully booked and we are not running a waiting list. Please book a place to come to the Open Morning without a Head of Sixth talk and come and listen to our subject talks. You can watch the recording of Miss Mather’s talk on our Virtual Open Day page.

PLEASE BOOK HERE: Open Morning tickets  (Internal applicants please use the log in sent to you from the school with your Beechen Cliff email address).

View the Open Morning Programme and plan your visit (programme subject to change before the event). We recommend that guests come for the whole morning (rather than arriving at the time of the Head of Sixth Talk) and visit as many of their interested subjects as they can. We will be ready to welcome you from 9am.

Open Morning Parking: Please note that there is no parking available on the main school site, however free parking will be available on the lower field via Greenway Lane. From Wellsway turn onto Entry Hill opposite Tesco Express. Ignore the “Road Closed – Diversion” signs as this is further up Entry Hill. Take the left turn behind the ‘Devonshire Arms’ into Greenway Lane. Look for the gate on the left hand side (immediately after the houses) and drive into the lower field. Follow the parking directions given to you by our team and then cross the rugby field to our welcome point. What3words: decent.tent.robot
