16+ 2024 Entry
Registration for September 2024 entry can be made here.
The entry process
Entry to the Sixth Form at Latymer Upper School is through our own examinations, followed by interviews for selected candidates. Applicants will need to submit a copy of their Year 10 report when they apply and will be invited to sit an exam in early November to assess their suitability for a Latymer Sixth Form education.
The entrance exam consists of three papers which assess candidates’ mathematical ability and written communication as well as general problem solving and critical thinking. Candidates’ potential is assessed on their overall performance in these written tests, although the two most relevant to their proposed Sixth Form programme will carry more weight.
Sample questions can be seen by clicking the box below. Please note the registration deadline is midday on Wednesday 27 September 2023 and we are unable to accept late registrations. If a candidate is eligible for learning support adjustments, you will be asked to indicate this at the point of registration. Supporting documents will be required to evidence any requested adjustments and these must be submitted by the registration deadline of midday Wednesday 27 September 2023 .
Entry requirements for Sixth Form joiners
We would expect all our Sixth Form applicants, if studying GCSEs, to achieve a minimum of 9 GCSEs including Mathematics and English, with grades 9/8/7 in the subjects that they wish to study in the Sixth Form, or in a related subject where the proposed course is in a new subject.
Further information on the curriculum is available in the Sixth Form Choices Booklet.

Please note we are unable to sponsor pupils who require a 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 any relevant resident permit/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.
