YEAR 12 (AGE 16+) ENTRY
We usually welcome between 15 and 20 girls
from other schools to join our current Year 11 in
the Sixth Form at City. We welcome the valuable
contribution new girls bring – new ideas, new
interests, new personalities and new ambitions.
Just like for entry in Year 7, we welcome girls from all
backgrounds and schools. City is an exciting place to
study and the girls are all unique and individual – you are
encouraged to be who you want to be! We aim to offer
places to girls who will both thrive here academically and
make the most of the varied extra-curricular activities and
opportunities for personal development before heading off
into the wider world. Our main aim is that you thoroughly
enjoy your final two years of school!
Below is a rough idea of the timeframe for the admissions process. Specific dates can be found on our
website or on or Admissions Dates leaflet.

OPEN AFTERNOON
We hold a Sixth Form open afternoon each Summer Term
of Year 10 to which we look forward to welcoming you.
The current year 10 girls also come along to find out about
the Sixth Form at City. This offers a wonderful chance to
look around the school, speak with subject staff, meet
current Sixth Form girls and get a good feel for life at City
Sixth! The specific dates can be found on our website or
on our Open Events leaflet.
Scholarships and
Bursaries
Each year, many of our girls join the
City Sixth Form with some form of
financial assistance towards their
fees. Within the school as a whole,
approximately 30% of City girls
receive financial assistance. When
girls join the City Sixth Form we are
able to offer Music, Art or Drama
scholarships and/or Bursaries. Please
