Entry requirements to Hills Road are different to other sixth form centres. We don’t ask for a set group of GCSE grades. Instead, each A level has its own entry requirements, with an Admissions Score and minimum GCSE grade.
Grade and score entry criteria
Using predicted GCSE grades provided by your school, applicants must meet the relevant Admissions Score and minimum GCSE grade for each A level course applied for.
Applicants must include three eligible A level subjects, but are encouraged to include up to five to allow flexibility if courses are unavailable.
Admissions Scores
As well as meeting our GCSE grade and Admissions Score requirements, there are additional criteria you’ll need to meet when applying to the College, which are shown below. For full details, please refer to our Admissions Policy.
You can use our handy Admissions Score calculator to work out your score. All you need are your predicted grades and to follow the instructions on the calculator.
Choosing which A levels to apply for can feel tricky, and the process from application to enrolment can seem confusing at first. The tips below will help you understand what to expect and make your choices with confidence.
