Policy on Year 12 Admissions
1. All admissions are subject to the overriding proviso that we can construct a reasonable
timetable. Provisional admission is no guarantee that a reasonable timetable is possible.
2. We reserve the right to refuse entrance to Year 12 or to a particular subject, even if a student is
technically qualified, if we feel he/she will not cope academically, or will get no positive benefit
from the course.
3. We reserve the right to refuse entrance to Year 12, even if a student is academically qualified, if
we feel he/she will be disruptive.
4. In some subjects where there are more students wishing to take the subjects than places
available, we may demand higher qualifications (e.g. Grade B at GCSE Level, a range of
reasonable GCSE Level results). We cannot legislate for this until the demand for places is
known.
Examination Fees
Parents should note that fees for external AS and A2 examinations are the responsibility of the
parent. Parents will receive a bill for each examination the student is entered for, including re-sits.
Exam fees for the BTEC courses are paid in full at the beginning of Year 12. Any re-sit of units
within the course does not incur additional charges over and above the original fee paid.
Students that require additional access arrangements during examinations, for example the use of a
reader or a scribe, may incur additional costs for invigilation.
Results may be withheld if examination fees /text books are outstanding and not cleared.
