Joining Sixth Form

Your journey begins with a warm invitation to one of our Open Events or by scheduling a private tour. Visiting the School will provide you with the opportunity to speak to our current students, teachers and be introduced to our vibrant community culture.

For in-depth information on A level subject choices and the academic curriculum, please attend our Sixth Form Open Evening where all Heads of Department will be on-hand to speak at length.

For those families considering September 2025 entry, prospective pupils were invited to attend a Sixth Form Experience Day on Friday 8th November 2024 where they had the opportunity to experience a selection of taster lessons alongside current Clifton High School Year 11 pupils. 

If you were unable to attend, our Admissions Team can arrange a bespoke Taster Day where children will be buddied up with a Sixth Form student who are currently studying their preferred A level subjects. 

This application consists of a registration form, predicted and/or mock grades and a pupil written statement submitted to the Admissions Office using the online form emailed after the Experience or Taster Day.

Students who are not applying for a scholarship, will be invited to attend an interview with Miss Katherine Rich, Head of Sixth Form and Mr Will Phelan, Head. These interviews will take place during the evening of 14^th January 2025 or thereafter on an individual basis.

For those students applying for a scholarship, they will be invited to attend the Scholarship Interview Evening in January 2025 (or thereafter on an individual basis), where they will be interviewed and subsequently meet with the relevant Head of Department. For subjects such as Art and Product Design students may be required to bring a portfolio. Music scholars should be working at Grade 5 or above in at least one instrument and will be required to play two pieces on their strongest instrument. Sports scholars should be working at County level or above in at least one sport.

After a thorough interview process, our Admissions Team will send out offer letters to successful candidates, celebrating your child's achievements and formally inviting them to join our Sixth Form community.

Finally, the choice is yours to accept our offer and embark upon the next stage of the Clifton High School journey as we invite you to become a cherished member of our Sixth Form.

Once enrolled at Clifton High School, students will be invited to attend our Sixth Form Transition Day, where they will connect with one another, engage in team building activities and explore varying aspects of Sixth Form life. Parents are also warmly invited to attend a Year Ahead Information Evening where Miss Katherine Rich and the Year 12 Tutor Team will outline what life entails in the Walters Sixth Form Centre and the independence afforded to our members.
