Apply Now

We encourage anyone that is interested in applying to our Sixth Form to attend our Open Evening which takes places annually in early October. Applications are invited from straight after this event.

All applicants will be offered an informal meeting with the Head of Sixth Form to discuss potential options and to answer questions. Provisional offers are based upon the admissions criteria outlined in our prospectus and will be discussed fully at individual meetings.

We encourage applications to submit applications by the end of the Autumn term, with meetings scheduled for the Spring term, within the timetabled day for current Friesland students and beyond the Sixth Form today for the many external applicants that apply to us.

We host a Sixth Form taster event at the end of the exam period in late June and recommend that all applicants attend before making their final decisions on GCSE results day and in the lead up to the beginning of the academic year.

Alternatively, you can request a paper application form from Mrs Reason, Sixth Form Administrator
