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. We offer a range of courses in the Sixth Form. Our entrance requirements are as follows:
A Level: For September 2024, entry requirements we will be using an average points system, with a requirement of at least 5.5 in a students best 8 GCSEs.
For example, assume a student has these following GCSEs:
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 be 50 points divided by 8 GCSEs 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.
- A Grade 7 at GCSE Mathematics is needed for students to study Mathematics at A Level. Students who wish to study Further Mathematics can only do so with a Grade 8 in Mathematics at GCSE.
- A Grade 7 at GCSE Science is needed for students to study Science at A Level. Students will also require a Mathematics Grade 7 to study Biology, Chemistry or Physics at A Level.
- For all other subjects a Level 6 at GCSE is needed to take that same subject at A Level.
