Our Courses
All of our courses cover the entirety of the two years you will spend with us at Beckfoot Sixth Form, and it is therefore hugely important you make the right choices for you.
Personal Development
While your academic success and development are of paramount importance to us, we also want our Sixth Form to present you with life changing opportunities and personal development.
Applying for Sixth Form
Open evenings for prospective students and their families take place in November. This is an opportunity for you to get a feel for our Sixth Form, meet our incredible teachers, and talk to our expert Sixth Form team.
Once you have submitted your application, you will be invited to a taster day to experience the Sixth Form and our exceptional teaching. All applicants will be invited to a meeting to discuss their application and to gain guidance on entry to our courses, this guidance will be based on the student’s predicted grades and Year 11 mock examination scores in January. (External students will be asked for evidence of their predicted grades at GCSE.) All applications must be submitted before the relevant year’s closing date to be guaranteed for consideration.
View our Sixth From Admissions Policy for more information.
