Admissions
Thank you for your interest in Abbey Gate College.
Although the main points of entry are at Foundation, Year 7 and Sixth Form, we can consider new pupils in other year groups, if there is space available. We encourage all potential applicants to come to the College and personally meet with the Head of the respective schools.
Entry into Years 3-11 is by Entrance Exam and by observation-based assessment for the Infant School (Foundation -Year 2). All students will also need to meet with the respective Heads during the application process. This can be before or after an application is submitted.
Our Sixth Form entry also requires an interview with the Heads of Sixth Form, after which a conditional offer will be made and will be dependent upon agreed GCSE grade requirements. Our standard requirement is Grade 6 or above in the chosen A-Level subjects (or relevant subject), Grade 5 or above in English and Maths and Grade 4 or above in non-related GCSE subjects.
Further information can be found in our Admissions Policy.
We would love to show you around our College, so that you can see for yourself what a special community this is.
