The consultation period having now closed, these admissions arrangements have been confirmed for 2012-2013. Academic entry requirements Entry to Year 12 is on the basis of academic ability demonstrated by achievement at GCSE. To gain entry into the sixth form, students normally require a minimum of 380 QCA points* from their best eight GCSE results (ie the equivalent of 4 x A grades, 2 x B grades and 2 x C grades at GCSE) including at least C grades in English and Mathematics. To be able to take a particular subject at AS level, students are expected to achieve at least an A grade at GCSE in that subject (or a specified equivalent subject) – a B grade is considered an absolute minimum. The Headteacher reserves the right to make the final decision on admissions. The vast majority of Stratford Grammar School girls continue from Year 11 into the sixth form. The academic qualifications given above apply. Any girls whose grades or point scores drop beneath these minimums will be counselled about their options post-16. Priority for admission to Year 12 of the school will be given to pupils progressing into the sixth form from Year 11 of the school. Girls joining the school from outside We welcome applications from external candidates. The admission number for pupils joining Year 12 in 2012 will be 50, giving a planned cohort size of 120. Details of the application process are given below. Conditional places will be offered on the basis of the predicted GCSE grades supplied by the applicant’s school, subject to maximum set sizes not being exceeded in individual subjects, and these places will be confirmed following the publication of GCSE results. The deciding factor in cases of oversubscription will be average GCSE points score in the candidate’s best eight subjects (predicted at the point of offers being made in the spring, and actual in August). A waiting list will be compiled of applicants who meet the general academic requirements for admission to Year 12 but who, in accordance with the criteria given above, cannot initially be offered places. If the number of pupils in Year 12 falls below the admission number in August, or if the number of pupils studying particular subjects falls below the maximum set sizes for the subjects, then those on the waiting list will be offered places, in accordance with the admission criteria, in order of priority, revised in the light of actual GCSE grades. Top priority will be given to looked-after children, followed by other applicants in strict order of merit, subject again to maximum set sizes not being exceeded in individual subjects.
