    Sixth Form Application Option Choices 2026

    Early in 2027, applicants will be invited for an informal discussion regarding subject choices and career aspirations to ensure an appropriate pathway is selected. We aim to issue conditional offer letters within a couple of weeks of these meetings.

    External Students

    We warmly welcome applications from students who wish to join SWRA Sixth Form from other schools. We are extremely proud of our small Sixth Form community, and we know that students joining will soon become part of our school family, taking part in the success and opportunities that we have to offer.

    If you are a prospective student or parent who would like to discuss joining the Sixth Form, please contact Miss Wilson on 01400 272422 or email [email protected]. We will be happy to organise a tour of the school and discuss your options for joining us.
