Joining Latymer
in the Sixth Form

16+ 2026 Entry

Registration for September 2026 entry are now open.

We have completed the entry selection for Lower Sixth (Year 12) entry for September 2025.

The entry process

Entry to the Sixth Form at Latymer Upper School is through our own entrance examination on 4 November 2025, followed by an invitation to Interview for applicants who have performed well at the exam. 

To register, applicants will need to submit a copy of their Year 10 report and also specify the A-level subjects they wish to study at Sixth Form.

The entrance exam consists of three papers which assess :

i) Mathematical ability

ii) Written communication, including the ability to structure ideas, thoughts and arguments

iii) General Problem & Critical Thinking Skills

We are interested in a candidate’s overall performance and potential; however those assessments relevant to a candidate’s A level subject choices will carry greater weight.

Sample questions are available by clicking the box below. Please note that Registration deadline is midday Monday 22 September 2025 – we are unable to accept late registrations. 

Learning Support

The deadline for receipt of all documentation relating to learning support requirements and request for exam accommodation is the same day as when 16+ registrations close and this should be sent to us for consideration by our Academic Mentoring Department. You will be sent a link to complete the form when your registration has been processed, at this point all relevant information, reports or assessments from qualified practitioners in the appropriate field (or details of reports or assessments pending) should be submitted. If you have not submitted the relevant paperwork by the published deadline, we will be unable to assess your request for exam adjustments for your child during the entry assessment process. 

We are proud of our inclusive ethos and our Admissions policy makes specific reference for those pupils with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND). 

However, we believe it is important to be transparent with prospective families about the physical and sensory environment of our School. Due to our location, the number of pupils on roll, and the structure of our site, the School can be a busy, loud, and crowded place. These environmental factors can present challenges, particularly for children with sensory difficulties.

Whilst we are committed to making reasonable adjustments in line with  the Equality Act 2010, these adjustments must be made within the constraints of our setting. Families of children with significant sensory needs may wish to consider whether a smaller, quieter, and more spacious school environment might better suit their child’s individual requirements.

We encourage all parents and carers to discuss their child’s needs with us as early as possible during the admissions process so that we can work together to make an informed and appropriate decision.

All relevant Learning Support details must be supplied at this point, we reserve the right to withdraw the offer of a place if incomplete, inaccurate or misleading information is supplied at the initial registration stage.

We would expect all our Sixth Form applicants who are studying GCSEs, to be doing so for 9 GCSE subjects, including Mathematics and English. Candidates who opt to study an A- level subject in Sixth Form where there is an equivalent GCSE e.g. Physics, are expected to achieve grades 7-9, subject to a candidate’s engagement and performance at Interview.  For A-level subjects which are not offered at GCSE e.g. Politics or Economics, we will review achievement levels in related GCSE subjects. Specifically, a candidate who wishes to study A level Mathematics will need to achieve at least grade 8 in GCSE Mathematics (subject to performance at Interview) and grade 9 for A-level Further Mathematics. 

Further information on the curriculum is available in the Sixth Form Choices Booklet.

Please note we are unable to sponsor pupils who require a Child Student visa (formerly known as Tier 4 visa). To register you will need to show proof that your child can live and study in the UK by uploading a copy of your child’s passport and any relevant resident permit or visa. Unfortunately, if we do not have evidence that your child can live and study in the UK, we will be unable to make an offer.
