Sixth Form Admissions

An outstanding education for boys and girls aged 13 to 18

Around 75 girls and 30 boys join the Sixth Form (known as 'Specialists') each year, either as a boarder (like most of our pupils) or as a day pupil. Competition for places is strong. As a guide, we would expect successful candidates to gain a high proportion of A*s and As in (I)GCSE or equivalent, although the offers we make are unconditional. We welcome candidates with particular interests and talents in art, drama, music, sport and many other fields.

Admission is by competitive examination and interview. Candidates are assessed at Charterhouse in early November and offers of places are made on 1 December. Academic, Art, Music and Sport Scholarships and Awards are available.

Applications for the Sixth Form can be submitted from the start of the Summer Term of Year 10, up until the beginning October of Year 11 (the year before entry). We ask for reports from candidates' schools, so it is essential to inform them of the application.

UKiset is an adaptive cognitive test that measures underlying ability and language proficiency. More information can be found on the UKiset website (www.ukiset.com).

Please send this through to SixthFormAdmissions@charterhouse.org.uk. We will review the report/s and invite candidates to register for the assessments.

3. Selection Day

The selection day is at Charterhouse on a Saturday in the early part of November (Year 11). All candidates sit the Charterhouse Standard Tests in English, Mathematics (Arithmetic) and then two 45-minute papers in subjects of their own choice. Candidates are interviewed by a senior member of staff and will have the opportunity to spend time with some of our current pupils.

4. Offers

Candidates who are successful in the tests and interview will be offered unconditional places on 1 December. Parents will be asked to secure the place by signing an acceptance form and paying a deposit. Some reserve offers may also be made. We also admit late applicants after a similar testing procedure; however, it is advisable to apply at the right time to maximise the chance of success.
