APPLY FOR SIXTH FORM

We are delighted you are considering our unique sixth form experience for your daughter. Here's how to apply.

The Sixth Form at Portsmouth High School is an exciting time when you have the chance to pursue the subjects that really interest you. We expect sixth form students to have obtained grades at GCSE which indicate their suitability to cope with A Level study. In the first instance, you will be invited for an interview – usually in the spring term – and an offer of a place will then be conditional on your GCSE examination results.

When you are ready, register (application) for a place. A non-refundable fee of £60 is charged to process each child’s application. This fee is inclusive of VAT. We are happy to accept your application at any time.

When you register, please indicate if you would like to apply for a scholarship; art, drama, music and sport (available for Year 7, Year 9 and Year 12 entry) and/or a bursary (available for Year 7 and Year 12 entry). Please view our Sixth Form Scholarships booklet for how to apply.

Our Sixth Form Assessment Day is held in early December the year before entry, the date will be communicated to you once we have received your application. During the Assessment Day your daughter will also have an interview with the Head and Head of Sixth form.

After your daughter has completed her GCSEs we will invite her to spend time with the sixth form so she can experience the subjects she is taking for A Level.
