Wallington County Grammar School provides a selective Sixth Form, admitting male and female students based on their GCSE, IGCSE or equivalent qualifications (if necessary, converting IGCSEs to GCSE point scores using the latest DfE guidance). We do not accept BTEC qualifications as a GCSE equivalent or GCSE Short Courses. A student with overseas qualifications should contact UK ENIC at www.enic.org.uk for a Statement of Comparability to give official approval that the qualifications taken overseas are of the equivalent standard, and can be converted to GCSE grades by the Senior Leadership Team at Wallington County Grammar School to give an indicative Average Point Score (APS) and to be placed into the rank order of all external applicants.

All applicants for whom Wallington County Grammar School (WCGS) is the named school on their Education, Health & Care Plan (EHCP), will be given priority if they reach the minimum entry requirements for Sixth Form entry.

Students of Sixth Form age may make their own application for a place in our Sixth Form. External applicants wishing to apply for our Sixth Form who reach our minimum entry requirements, are asked to complete an online application form via our website from GCSE results day in August 2025 until the end of the following school day to apply for our Sixth Form during the ‘normal’ round of admissions.

By this end date, all applications will be ranked on the average point score of a students’ top eight GCSEs and places will be offered in accordance with our admissions criteria. After this date, external applicants may still complete an online application form via our website to apply for a place in our Sixth Form and this will be classed as a ‘late’ application. All late applications will be ranked by Average Point Score (APS) when they are received. All further offers of places for our Sixth Form will be made to the applicant with the highest APS (which is the Rank Order referred to in the full admissions criteria and arrangements document), regardless of when they applied. Unsuccessful applicants and their parents/carers have the right of appeal.

The minimum entry requirements to study in our Sixth form are eight GCSEs:

• Three of which are a minimum of Grade 7 and;
• Three of which are at a minimum of Grade 6 and;
• Two of which are at a minimum of Grade 5 and;
• To have achieved a minimum of Grade 4 in English Language AND Mathematics.
