Registration
If you would like your child to be considered for a place in the Sixth Form at Hurst, please complete our online Registration Form together with payment of the non refundable registration fee. This will reserve a place for your child in the year group, but does not guarantee a place.
Entry Requirements
To enrol into the Sixth Form at Hurst, students require at least four Grade 7 GCSEs. They should have a 7, 8 or 9 grade in the subjects that they intend to study and, where a student wishes to start a new subject which they have not studied before, they need to have achieved a 7-9 in a GCSE subject closely related to it (i.e. for Economics, ideally a student should have a 7-9 in Maths GCSE).
Students should also have a minimum of a Grade 5 at GCSE in Mathematics and English. However, we recognise the need to be flexible and operate on an individual student basis. We work closely with students to look at their choices and establish the best programme of study for them.
A satisfactory reference is also required from the student’s current school.
Assessments
Registered students are invited to attend an assessment day in November of Year 11 when they will sit Verbal and Non-verbal reasoning papers and attend interviews. Students applying for Scholarships will be assessed for these at the same time.
Confidential references, including predicted GCSE grades, will be requested from the student’s current school prior to the assessment day. Parents are asked to inform their child’s school of their application to Hurst.
Offers
Based on the results of the reasoning tests, predicted GCSE grades, interview performance and scholarship assessment (where relevant), offers will be made during the first week of December. These will be subject to the student achieving the required grades at GCSE and receipt of a satisfactory reference from the student’s current school.
