Entry criteria
At Waverley Sixth Form, we are proud to offer a broad range of subjects to our prospective students. We also know that for students to be successful, they need to be enroled on the right courses that match their ambition and their abilities.
We have set our entry criteria to reflect the demands of each subject. Prospective students should consider carefully their choice of courses, ensuring that they are selecting those subjects for which they have aptitude and a passion to study.
If you are successful in obtaining a place at Waverley Sixth Form, you will be given a conditional offer. This offer is subject to you achieving the required grades for your chosen programme of study.
You can view our entry requirements below for each of our courses.
What happens if I do not meet the entry criteria?
If you are successful in obtaining a place at Waverley Sixth Form but have not met the entry requirements for your chosen courses, you should still attend on the enrolment day to meet with an admissions tutor. We understand that students do not always perform as well as they would wish in their examinations for a variety of different reasons.
You will be able to discuss the grades you have achieved and which courses you may be eligible to study.
