Open Evening
Our Open Evening took place on Thursday 19 October. If you were unable to attend the Open Evening, an opportunity for students to visit the Sixth Form will take place at the Taster Day in June 2024.
What are the entrance requirements?
Waldegrave is non-selective however there are national minimum GCSE grades required to study A Levels. On your application you will be asked for your predicted grades. These are used for guidance only as we recognise many applicants improve their grades between mock exams and public exams. Applicants will be accepted onto courses following the results of the GCSEs received in August.
You will be asked to choose three subjects that you think you would like to study at A Level. No firm decision needs to be made until Enrolment Day in August and confirmation of your place will depend on availability of courses on the day.
For more information on the subjects we offer please view Sixth Form Subjects webpage.
If you have not sat GCSEs or iGCSEs you will need to provide a Statement of Compatibility.
What happens after I have submitted an application?
All applicants are given a Conditional Offer. Offers will be made at the end of the Spring term.
Places at Waldegrave are not guaranteed until after Enrolment Day in August
We advise all applicants to make at least three applications to A Level providers.
What happens on Enrolment Day in August?
This will take place on the same day as GCSE results for current Waldegrave students and the following day for external applicants. Towards the end of the Summer term 2024 you will receive an Enrolment Pack and the time of your appointment to attend on Enrolment Day. You will be expected to attend your appointment so we strongly advise you attend your enrolment meeting and do not book holidays. We will not enrol virtually.
Your place in Sixth Form is not guaranteed and is only confirmed once your meeting has concluded, as such we recommend you make applications to several Sixth Forms and colleges.
