We are a warm and caring school which has a sense of family and community at its core. We are proud of our popular and thriving Sixth Form in which students benefit from being part of a close-knit community where all students are valued, and their individual needs are met. Our Sixth Form attracts a diverse range of academically able students who achieve excellent outcomes. Students excel here not only because of our focus on academic excellence but also on personal and social development. Our Sixth Form provision is academic in nature but by encouraging students to aim for the highest standards whilst making significant contributions to the running of the school, the result is adult atmosphere in which freedom and responsibility are evenly balanced. Students can participate in a range of extra-curricular activities to supplement their academic learning whether through clubs and societies, extra-curricular visits and trips, leadership and mentoring schemes. At Queen Mary’s High School there is always an activity for those who want to get involved.

Sixth Form Entrance Requirements
Entry to Year 12 is dependent upon academic attainment in GCSE examinations* and the availability and suitability of courses offered by the school. Save for candidates who are either Looked After or previously Looked After as defined in the Admissions Policy, or are eligible for Pupil Premium**, the entry requirements, which also apply to those already at the school, are at least seven GCSEs at grade 6 or above which include English and Maths.
Candidates would normally be expected to achieve at least grade 7 in the subjects they wish to study at A Level (or, for non-GCSE subjects, attain an average GCSE points score of at least 6.8). Those candidates already at the school who are either Looked After or previously Looked After as defined in the Admissions Policy, or are eligible for Pupil Premium**, together with those candidates applying from other schools to join Year 12 and who are either Looked After or previously Looked After as defined in the Admissions Policy, or are eligible for Pupil Premium**, will be required to achieve at least six GCSEs at grade 6 or above which include English and Maths. All such candidates would normally be expected to achieve at least grade 7 in the subjects they wish to study at A-Level. For non-GCSE subjects such as Psychology or Economics students are required to attain an average GCSE points score of at least 6.2. GCSE average points scores are calculated by adding together the numerical grades achieved in each subject and divided by the total number of GCSEs studied.
* Equivalent examinations will be considered, but only when such equivalence can be independently verified (by, for example, the Department for Education).
** The school will require evidence to confirm Pupil Premium status. The evidential requirements can be found at in the Admissions Policy. Please contact the School Office if further information is required.
