Sixth Form Admissions

We invite all candidates to complete an application form in the first instance.  The application must include copies of latest school reports, together with predicted grades at (I)GCSE. Candidates for whom English is not their first language must submit and include a UKiset test. For information please see www.ukiset.com. The application form asks candidates to describe their motivation and ambition to study at Charterhouse and their contribution to the school community.

Candidates from Hong Kong and Mainland China should contact Ms Battie Fung, Academic Asia, 14/F, China Taiping Tower Phase II, 8 Sunning Road, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong Tel：+852 2833 0919 | Fax：+852 2834 5398 | www.academic-asia.com | Email: battie@academic-asia.com

The Director of Admissions will review all completed applications and after this shortlisted applicants will be invited to complete the registration form and submit the non-refundable registration fee of £300. These candidates will be invited to sit the Sixth Form entrance assessments (which includes examination and interview) in November. Please see the full process below.

Candidates will be notified if they are shortlisted between 1 June and 9 October 2023.

Shortlisted candidates will be invited to register and complete the registration form and pay the £300.00 registration fee.  This form will be emailed to you.

We request confidential references from candidates’ schools. We will request these in early October.  If a candidate has been at their current school for less than a year, we also request a reference from the previous school.  

The assessment day at Charterhouse is on a Saturday in the early part of November (Year 11).  All candidates sit the Charterhouse Standard Test in English and then choose three further subject papers in subjects that they are looking to study at A Level or at Higher Level in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP).  Candidates are interviewed by a senior member of staff.

Overseas candidates

If a candidate is studying overseas and unable to come to Charterhouse for the assessments, we can arrange for the tests to be sent to the British Council or the candidate’s current school.  Candidates who are successful in the exams will then be invited to an interview (on Zoom).

For candidates in Hong Kong and Mainland China, Academic Asia will hold an assessment day in Hong Kong in November. Please contact Ms Fung for more information.

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.
