Sixth Form Application Process
How many subjects do I choose?
We recommend that all students study 3 subjects if they are following the academic pathway. In some cases, and based on GCSE results students can take up to 4 subject choices.
How do I apply?
Internal students need to apply by completing the online Sixth Form application form through their school email address using the QR code below. External applicants must complete the application form included in this pack.
We welcome applications from students currently in Year 11 at Lipson as well as students from all other secondary educational settings.
When is the deadline?
All applications should be received by Friday 26th December 2025. Applications received after the deadline date will be held on the waiting list.
We are still accepting applications from external students up to September 2024.
Can I change my courses after the deadline?
Yes, you can still make changes to your application form. All the courses you have selected and your suitability will be discussed at your interview.
When are the interviews?
Interviews will take place during January. These will be arranged at a convenient time for internal students during the school day and an open afternoon will be held for any external students in February.
On the day of the interview both internal and external students will need to bring evidence of their predicted GCSE grades and current attendance percentage.
