Following our Open Evening in November, all students wishing to apply for Sixth Form should apply to be part of this event, which takes place on Thursday 4th February 2027.
Students, you should choose 6 subjects that you are considering taking in Sixth Form to trial at this event, including those you may be taking at GCSE, to fully appreciate the step-up in work that is required to achieve your intended A-level grades.
Please note this IS NOT your formal application to Sixth Form – this comes later. The deadline to apply for subject sampling is Friday 8th January 2027.

If you wish to make any changes to your A‑level choices before Monday 1st March, please email sixthform@alcestergs.com.
