We hope you have found out all you need to know about Wren Academy and we look forward to receiving your application for a place in our Sixth Form.
The focus of our Sixth Form is on the study of A Levels which allow our students the best opportunity to progress into university and follow professional careers.
For our entry requirements we will be using an average points system (APS), with a minimum requirement of 5.5 in a students best 8 GCSEs.
For example, assume a student has these following GCSE results:
Mathematics 7
English Language 7
Chemistry 7
History 6
Biology 6
Physics 6
Art 6
English Literature 5
Business 4
This student has nine GCSEs; their best eight GCSEs would therefore not count their 4 in Business. An average point score of their best eight GCSEs would therefore total 50 points, which you would divide by 8 giving an average of 6.25. As we are looking for an average points score of 5.5 this student would meet the requirements for Sixth Form entry.
GCSE grade 6 is required to study the same subject at A Level, with the below exceptions for Mathematics and Science.
- GCSE grade 7 to study Mathematics at A Level.
- GCSE grade 7 in both Science and Mathematics is required to study Biology, Chemistry or Physics A Level.
- GCSE grade 8 to study Further Mathematics.
