University Entrance

The vast majority of our Sixth Formers progress into Higher Education.

There is a comprehensive programme of time-tabled Careers and Higher Education advice for both Sixth Form years. We also give interview practice, and provide additional teaching for those applying to Oxford or Cambridge. Higher Education advice begins in the Lower Sixth, the aim being to send off University application forms as early as possible in the Christmas Term. This puts our students' applications ahead of most other schools, and results in early interviews and offers.

The extensive Careers and Higher Education Library is always available for Sixth Form use. There is a bank of computers with Broadband access for HE research. The School also has close links with Trafford Connexions, and discussions with its officers can be arranged by Mr Brown.

The School is fully supportive of GAP years before going into Higher Education and gives advice on options.

The publication of "A" Level results occurs in mid-August, and Staff are available at that time to advise on any difficulties and help those who have to find a place through Clearing.
