Sixth Form Admissions 2025
WELCOME TO BARTHOLOMEW SCHOOL SIXTH FORM
We are delighted that you are considering applying for entry to the Sixth Form at Bartholomew School. We hope that the information here, including our Sixth Form Open Evening film and prospectus, will inspire you to apply to join us in September 2025.
The Sixth Form you join should be a supportive stepping-stone to a variety of future possibilities, including training, employment, further education, and higher education. It should offer you an exciting and challenging range of opportunities, both academic and extracurricular. We believe Bartholomew School will provide you with an environment where all of this can happen, where our key aim is to support you in achieving the success that you need to pursue your chosen goals.
Please watch our short film with a talk from Mrs von der Osten, Deputy Headteacher & Director of Sixth Form and our Student Presidents. Please note that this film replaces a talk on the day of our event to give you full flexibility to tour the school at your convenience and to offer the opportunity for as many of you as possible to speak in person with Mrs von der Osten, other members of staff and Sixth Form students.
Please take some time to explore this page and if you have any questions, let us know using the enquiry form below. You can also get in touch this way if you were unable to come to our Open Evening on Thursday 21st November and would like a tour of the School.Bartholomew School Sixth Form Prospectus 2025

Options Grid
Most students will select 3 A Level or BTEC courses from the grid below when making their Sixth Form application.
Please note that students will also take an EPQ (Extended Project Qualification) or Core Maths, both of which are worth half an A Level. These courses do not need to be confirmed at this stage but will be agreed with students in September.
We understand that some students may change their mind over the year about their options so please rest assured that there will be opportunities to update choices if students wish to. Further information to help you with this part of your application appears within the application form.
For those looking to take more than one BTEC course, please note that schools are awaiting an update from the government to confirm the number of BTECs a student may take alongside A Levels. At this stage please go ahead and select whatever courses you wish and we will offer further guidance if necessary pending the outcome of the government update.
