Application Process
Entry to the Sixth Form is subject to successful completion of your current/previous course of study. An interview will take place to discuss options and academic entry requirements for particular courses to ensure that students are matched to the most appropriate courses. Apart from the academic qualifications needed for entry into the Sixth Form, we expect all students to demonstrate a commitment to consistent hard work and a positive attitude to all aspects of Sixth Form life. Students' progress is monitored by termly reports to students and parents.
Our application form for September 2026 starters is now closed. If you would like to be added to our waiting list please email sixthformadmissions@highdown.reading.sch.uk
