How do I apply?

1

BEFORE YOU APPLY
The best way to see if Six 21 is right for you is to attend our open events. You’ll get to sample some of the exciting learning that makes Six 21 so special, speak to our fantastic teachers, and ask any questions that come to mind.


Entry Requirements
2024 entrance requirements will be at least six GCSEs Grades 9-6, including English (Lit. or Lang.) and Mathematics. In addition, these will need to include relevant subjects being continued at A-level where appropriate. If you would like to study maths then you will need to have achieved a minimum of a Grade 7 in maths at GCSE. If you would like to study a  science then you will need to have achieved a 7 in that science at GCSE or 7,7 in Combined Science.
To study Music, Music Tech or Art & Design you do not need to have taken this as GCSE however you will need to provide a portfolio or proof of external qualifications.

Due to the changes in GCSEs, we reserve the right to review these entrance requirements after the results are published in August.
