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 2026

How to Apply

Step 1 - Prospectus and Open Event
Our new Sixth Form prospectus will soon be available here.

Our open event will be held on Thursday 9th October 2025. Tickets must be boked in advance on our Eventbrite page. There are two time slots at 6pm (doors at 5.50) and 7pm (doors at 6.50). 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
All prospective students (whether currently at Saint Cecilia’s or not) will apply using the Admissions portal, which will go live on this page at 6pm on Thursday 9th October 2025. If you wish to be sent the link by email, please sign up to our Sixth Form mailing list.

Internal and external applicants have until Friday 21st November 2025 to submit their application via the portal.

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 2026.

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.
