The Governing Body of Saint Cecilia’s Church of England School operates an Open Sixth Form, accepting both its own pupils and those from other Secondary Schools, without reference to their religious commitment, but who have shown a specific desire in their application to continue their education in a Church School, as well as a willingness to contribute to the school’s Christian ethos.

Year 11 pupils who wish to apply for one of the Year 12 places available each year will need to fulfill the General Conditions of Entry together with the minimum academic requirements.

General Conditions of entry:
Places will be offered providing the following General Conditions are met:

  • Saint Cecilia’s Church of England School Sixth Form is able to provide a suitable course.

  • The applicant meets the Minimum Academic Requirements. The minimum GCSE requirements for specific courses will be published in the Sixth Form Prospectus

Applying for entry in September 2025

How to Apply

Step 1 - Prospectus and Open Event
Our new Sixth Form prospectus is available here. Our open event was held on Thursday 10th October. Due to the large volume of applications, we are sadly unable to offer individual tours of our school and Sixth Form facilities.

Step 2 - Application
Applications have now closed for Sixth Form for September 2025. If there are special circumstances regarding why you have not applied prior to the closing date, please contact our Admissions Manager on svandermeer@saintcecilias.london to explain why you would like to apply now. If you are starting your research for September 2026 and would like to be emailed when we open the bookings for our Sixth Form Open Evening and the application form, please join our mailing list.

Step 3 - Consultation Meeting
All prospective students will have a consultation meeting with a member of school staff. We will hold consultations at the school on Saturdays in January 2025.

Step 4 - Provisional Offer
Provided prospective students meet the General Conditions of Entry, a provisional offer letter will be sent with the Conditions of Entry.

Step 5 - Confirmed Offer after GCSE results
Once GCSE results are known, those applicants who have met the Minimum Academic Requirements and any other Conditions of Entry, will have their provisional offer confirmed by the school. External applicants should visit the school on results day with evidence of their grades or email their results to admission@saintcecilias.london. Alternatively, external applicants can come with evidence of grades to our enrolment day, which is usually 1st September. Acceptance of the offer must be confirmed by the date specified in the offer letter; otherwise, the place may be withdrawn.
