Sixth Form Open Evening
You are welcome to join us at the Sixth Form Open Evening on Thursday 17th October 2024. The school will be open from 5.45pm to 7.30pm for prospective students and their parents to find out information about the subjects and courses offered.
As well as having the opportunity to visit different subject stalls and the sixth form facilities, there will also be two formal presentation covering issues such as entry requirements, the application process, expectations, ethos and facilities. These identical presentations will begin at 5.45pm and 6.30pm and will last approximately 25 minutes (you will only need to attend one of these sessions).
Please note, there is no requirement to book or register for Sixth Form Open Evening, please just turn up!
Applying for places at Sixth Form
Littleover Community School Sixth Form offers a wide range of AS and A Level courses. We aim to recruit approximately 175 students into Year 12 and we welcome applications from other schools. In a typical year approximately 60 students will be from schools other than Littleover Community School and all applications are considered on an equal basis.
Applications should be made via our online application form that is available on the school website. Applications open after the Sixth Form Open Evening in mid-October and close at the end of the first week in December.
The minimum entry criteria for Littleover Community School Sixth Form is Maths and English Language graded 5 or above and at least 3 other GCSE's graded 5 or above (in addition to the specific entrance requirements for each subject chosen as an A level which is available in the prospectus). However, the vast majority of students who receive offers will achieve 8 or more 9-5 grades with 9-6 in the subjects they wish to study at A Level. Where students plan to study subjects that they have not studied at GCSE level it is expected that they achieve grade 9-6 in subjects that have a similar skills set. Students wishing to study Further Maths must have an 8 or 9 in GCSE Maths and students wishing to study Maths must be graded 7-9 in GCSE Maths. Students who wish to study A level Physics, Chemistry or Physics must have a grade 9-6 in GCSE Maths as well as in the relevant science GCSE.
Students joining us from schools other than Littleover will be required to provide evidence of their GCSE grades in the form of GCSE certificates or official results notification documents from the school where they sat their GCSEs. Places in the 6th Form will only be confirmed once this evidence has been received and students who fail to declare their GCSE results accurately will be removed from roll.
More information can be found in the LCS Sixth Form Prospectus and other areas under the "Sixth Form" heading.
Please note that if the number of applications who meet the entry criteria outlined above exceeds the number of 6th Form places that we have available then the quality of personal statements on the application forms will be used to determine which candidates receive offers.
Many thanks,
Mr R Archer (Head of Sixth Form)
