Requirements and Applying

One of the best things about King Alfred's is the welcoming environment that I have experienced as someone who just joined the school in year 12.

You can start your application to join King Alfred's Sixth Form now, and edit your choices later:

2026 Entry Requirements

Students must obtain the overall entry requirements together with the individual subject entry requirements to be accepted onto their chosen subjects.

Extenuating circumstances may be considered if a student cannot meet the usual entry requirements. If a student wants to study a subject at A‑Level that was available at GCSE but they did not take, their suitability for that subject will be considered individually.

Please note that there is no catchment area for Sixth Form entries, and we do not have a limit on how many students we can admit in total. We do not limit the number of new external students or prioritise students presently in Year 11 at King Alfred's. We are a non-selective state school, and therefore all applicants will be offered a place as long as they meet the entry requirements, and we have the capacity within their chosen subjects at the time of application.

*Note: All students are required to take an additional programme as part of their sixth form curriculum, choosing from Sports Leaders, Core Mathematics, or the EPQ.
