Admissions and Apply
At Beaconsfield High School Sixth Form, students are challenged academically, supported personally and encouraged to develop the confidence, independence and character needed to thrive beyond school. Alongside three A-Level subjects, students participate in our Enrichment Programme, which broadens horizons, develops leadership skills and helps prepare them for university, apprenticeships and future careers.
Choosing your A-Levels is an exciting opportunity to shape your future. Whether you already have a clear career path in mind or are still exploring your options, our expert staff will support you in making informed choices that reflect your strengths, interests and ambitions.
Whilst some students choose to study four A-Levels, it is important to remember that many of the most competitive university courses and institutions, including Oxbridge and Medicine, make offers based on performance in three A-Level subjects. For this reason, we encourage students to choose a programme of study that allows them to achieve their strongest possible grades. Students considering highly competitive STEM courses may wish to take Further Mathematics as a fourth subject.
Entry Requirements
The entry requirements are the same for current Year 11 students at Beaconsfield High School and those applying from other schools.
Students are required to achieve a minimum of 48 points from their best eight GCSEs, including a minimum of GCSE Grade 5 in both English Language or English Literature and Mathematics. In addition, students must meet the entry requirements for each of the A-Level courses for which they have applied.
To be eligible for four A-Levels, students must achieve at least 64 points from their best eight GCSEs. For more information about the A-Level curriculum and entry requirements, please refer to our A-Level Options Guide below.
Admission is also subject to availability within the chosen classes and depends on whether the selected combination of courses can be accommodated within the school’s timetable. Please refer to our Admissions Policy here for more information.

A-Level Options
Students must enjoy what they are going to be studying; two years is a long time and the hard work and dedication required to ensure success has to be balanced with real enthusiasm and motivation. Enjoyment comes when we spend time doing what we are good at, so we encourage students to consider carefully where their strengths lie. A description of the A-Level options we can offer can be found in our A-Level Options Guide below. However, the offering differs year-on-year depending on how many students sign up for each subject, staffing and our option blocks.
Admissions FAQ
Are the entry requirements the same for external applicants as they are for existing students?
The application process and requirements are the same, although every applicant is reviewed and considered individually.
What is the dress code for sixth formers?
The Becky High Sixth dress code is designed to allow students to express their individuality and personal style within the confines of a school environment. Students are encouraged to look smart at all times. Leisurewear, including leggings and hoodies, is not permitted. The full dress code can be found here.
I’m thinking about taking a fourth A-Level. What do I need to consider?
We highly recommend that only the most able students, achieving at least 64 points from their best eight GCSEs, should consider taking four A-Levels. You should consider all other commitments, as the results for your best three A-Levels should remain the priority.
