The governing body welcome external applications to join the Sixth Form. The number in Year 11 is 180, in year 12 and year 13 it is about 230, making the sixth form at Latymer one of the largest in the UK, as well as one of the most successful. As in years 7 to 11, we seek to help Sixth Form students develop lively enquiring minds, apply themselves to tasks and acquire practical skills and knowledge that are valued both for their own sake and for the broader good of society. As for year 12 entry, students can only join this selective school in the Sixth Form after taking a test.
External candidates who want to join the sixth form will be considered after they have taken the NVR test.
Students should:
- have the necessary GCSE background
- have a real interest in their studies
- be involved in, and enjoy, the support of the school community
- have a record of meeting the specialist subjects’ requirements and coursework deadlines
- be evidently self-disciplined (e.g. in attendance, punctuality, and uniform).
- live within one of our published postcode areas (as shown on the registration form).
There are also the two academic requirements: students must achieve at least A grades in the subjects they wish to study at AS-level; and students must achieve at least 6 grade As overall in the GCSE examinations.
