Application to Sixth Form

There are over 200 Sixth Form students at Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School, many of whom have progressed from Year 11 but also a significant number of students who have joined from other schools.

For entry into Sixth Form at Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School (Horncastle) in September 2026 all applicants are required to have at least GCSE English Language and GCSE Mathematics at grade 4 or above, and either a total of at least:

• 24 points from their best 4 GCSEs, which may include Mathematics and English Language, or

• 18 points from their best 3 GCSEs, which may include Mathematics and English Language, and one other Level 2 qualification at Distinction, A grade or equivalent.

All potential Sixth Form students must complete the application form below and are invited to attend the Sixth Form Information Evening on Thursday 13th November, 6pm.

You can find more information about the Sixth Form Information Evening here: Information Evening Flyer

Please note that Friday 13th February is the last date for unrestricted subject choices. After this point, any changes to A Level choices must be made by completing a ‘Request for Course Change’ – please email [email protected] if you require this form. Any offers of provisional places would normally be made towards the end of the spring term.

All prospective Sixth Form students are expected to attend our Sixth Form Induction in June 2026 after GCSEs have finished. This will be an opportunity to firm-up on subject choices, find out more about individual subjects, meet new friends and see just how the Sixth Form works
