Sixth Form Admissions

Year 11 pupils currently at Overton Grange School and pupils in the appropriate age range currently studying elsewhere may apply to join the Sixth Form. The entry criteria for external applicants are the same for those who are already in the school.

The Sixth Form prospectus includes an outline of all courses offered.

Please note that there have been a number of changes to the way in which AS and A-Level courses have been examined since 2016. The government has decided to separate the AS Level Examination from the final A2 Examination so the AS Level result will no longer contribute to the final A-level grade, depending on performance at GCSE level students can study either 3 or 4 A-levels. The A-level courses will be a two year linear course with all examinations taken at the end.

In addition to the A-level courses we offer the BTEC Level 3 Diploma in Business which is the equivalent of two A-levels each. We also offer the BTEC Level 3 Extended Certificates in Business, Travel & Tourism, Health & Social Care and ICT which are the equivalent of one A-level each. These courses, which must be followed for 2 years to receive a qualification, are good for students who prefer doing coursework to exams. They can be combined with other A-level courses and are accepted for entry into Higher Education.

Open Evening

We invite parents and prospective students for September 2025 to attend our open evening on Thursday 10th October 2024 from 6pm to 8pm. An introductory talk by the Head teacher and the Director of the sixth Form will take place at 7pm in the main hall. We offer a wide range of A Level and BTEC courses and you will have the chance to discuss future options with subject teachers and current students before and after the talks.
