Sir William Borlase's Grammar School

Joining the 6th Form in 2025

We were delighted to welcome so many prospective students to our Open Evening on 6 November, and are very pleased to say that our applications are now open.

Our application process is on-line only.  Applications for Sixth Form Entry can be made by clicking Here - this will generate a log in for you. Be assured that your data remains confidential. You must keep your login details safe as you will need them time and time again over the next few months. This system is your live link to Borlase throughout the application process right up to the day of the results and beyond.

The process is straightforward but please note:

  • The application should be made by the student and not a parent/carer
  • The email address you use to register should be your personal email and not your school email address.
  • The criteria for entry is set out in our 2025 Admissions Policy and all candidates are encouraged to read it Here
  • There are very specific requirements relating to the subjects you wish to study. Overall, we require students to have achieved 6.4 APS across all their GCSEs (minimum 8 subjects), and for most subjects you must achieve a 7 in the subjects you wish to study at A Level. There are exceptions to this and the detail is contained in the guidelines below. 
  • The closing date for all applications is Monday 3 February 2025 and note that we do not consider late applications.
