All students wishing to study at JFK Sixth Form must meet a minimum academic level in their GCSEs; they are required to achieve across all subjects an average of grade 4. In addition students must achieve the required grades for the subjects they wish to study. All subjects require a minimum GCSE grade in that subject to continue at A Level/BTEC. These requirements are published at the start of the application process in November. Students who have not achieved grade 4 or above in either GCSE English Language and/or GCSE Mathematics will also continue to study these subjects until they achieve a grade 4. All students commit to a study of a minimum of three subjects at level 3 and to attend all extra curricular studies i.e Core RE, PSHE, Enrichment and EPQ / Core mathematics.  The governors  welcome applications from external students provided that they meet the minimum entry requirements, complete the JFK Sixth Form Application Form and attend a meeting with the Sixth Form team. Previous schools will be contacted to confirm forecast grades. The number of intended admissions to the Sixth Form for the year commencing September 2023 will be 180. The Published Admission No. (PAN) for external applicants is 50. In the case of over subscription then the criteria used for admission to year 7 will be applied giving preference to Catholic applicants.
