Entry to Sixth Form

The prospect of Sixth Form education at St Edmund’s College is a most exciting, challenging and important one. 

It offers you a superbly supportive environment that will not just provide a passport to the best universities, art schools and other institutions of higher education in Britain and abroad, but also offer you two years of discovery, stimulation and challenge.

Each year we hold Open Days held in September and the Spring and you are always welcome to come for a personal visit. It is also possible to arrange a taster day tailored to the subjects you may wish to study where possible.

  • Grade 7 for Mathematics
  • Grade 8 for Further Mathematics
  • Two Grade 6 in Combined Science to do any Science.
